Stored seed might be coaxed into germination with temperature cycling and patience. Sow at 20°C for 6 weeks, then place @ 4°C for 6 weeks, then slowly raise temperature to 10°C for 6 weeks. If there is no germination, repeat the cycle. Requires darkness. * 10°C x 5 days, 4°C x 5-6 weeks; very slow growing; avoid pricking out individually; transplant seedlings in clumps
