hi all

ok i have some sikkimensis seeds for 3 months they won't germinate and im angry .

i need some info in temperature regimes

since a week or two i have acces to temp fluctations , my regime is about 10 hours 25 C' and 10 hours 15C'.

before those two weeks i stored the seeds at room temp but nothing happened.

1. so what are your temperature regimes and how long did it take for those sikkimensis seeds to germinate ?

then i got a question about the E.ventrosicum i have them for about 3 months and nothing germinated, i have them on room temp 20 C'

2. so what are the temp regimes for Ensete.V and how long did it take until they sprout ?

i got alot of experience with palm seeds.
My only conclusion with nana seeds is that it sucks and i takes long + most seeds even the fresh are not always viable.
i believe there are reasons for this but im not going to press that i only got 1 question :

3. if a animal eats this seed it wil get in the stomach with acid where the Ph wil be about 0 - 1 PH wil this acid bath do anything ?
my point is scientific ; what is the rate of seeds germination after a bird ate it and pooped it out ?

maybe a 24 soak in warm lemon juice or lime juice wil help ? or wil it destroy the seeds ? maybe a 38 soak in warm water and a 10 hour soak in lemon juice ?
