I'm waiting on 72 Sikkimensis seeds that I sowed december 5th. None of them have germinated using fluctuating temperatures on a heat mat. I placed 6 caster bean seeds (purchased from our good friend Taylor) in the seed flat and they germinated in 1 day. I do not think the seeds I purchased are viable. I cracked one of the seeds open and the inside was as dry as chalk. Do you think I should find another source for Sikkimensis seeds?
