Sowing advice

These seeds have delayed hypogeal germination. Although they require a little more attention and time than some seeds, they are very well worth the patience. Give them  4 months moist dark warmth, and after that  give them  4 months moist dark cold (2-4 deg C) for germination to commence . Sow the seeds on to a good seed raising mix which is moist.   After that , lightly cover them with mix to about their own depth. Seal   the pot with the seed in it, in  a plastic bag, and keep in a dark place at about 18 deg C for 4 months.  Then check them weekly  and lift off the plastic cover to provide air movement , replacing  the cover after inspection.  After 4 months move to 2 -4 deg C ( fridge will work) for 4 months and after this cool period small bulbs should have developed. Take the pot out of the fridge to about 18 deg C.    First leaves should appear in about 3 weeks.
