I have honestly not experimented with many types of seed, but my Velutina have been known to sprout at about two weeks. Sometimes MUCH longer, though, I might add...
I soak them in water for about two days, then I plant them in my potting mix and leave them outside with the elements. No heating mat, no incubator.
If I get more into it, I might invest in some serious germination tools but for now it's just a real simple process. Less simple than I do with palm seeds..
I have a velutina seedling pic in my gallery that was taken about three weeks after planting and they are about 2" plants in the pic.
