Germination: These seeds must be covered with a layer seed kernel diameter. Keep daytime temperatures at approximately +20°C (68°F), and keep the moisture constant. The seeds must be kept in the light and moderately warm after germination. For these bigger hard-shelled seeds, mechanical damaging of the shell is helpful for quicker swelling. One method is to grind the seed in dry sharp sand. They can also be treated for several hours in a "softener" (Polyethylenglycol 6000), which is used for the production of plastic material.
