Jordan- Follow standard methods. If the seed is fresh it will germinate pretty quickly.

Never had any problems with these if(as Paul said)they are fresh.

I use perlite or sphagnum moss,surprisingly my Manipur seeds
from Cyriak in France started sprouting in a week!

Hi Jordan,
I don't know your experience level, but this is a good general link:

I've never tried Trachy from seed (until now).
My T.wagnerianus seeds popped, then immediately fell over, dead as a doornail.
Old seed apparently. :evil:

Agree #1 is fresh seed.

Looking forward to seeing your progress.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.
