that's great! what did you do to insure that the seeds would grow? I started a thread on giant nepals and am sure its somewhat similar.

I have had 18 out of 50 germinate so far. I transferred them to 3 inch pots after they sprouted, and hopefully they will break the surface in a few days. I looked in one pot under the mix by carefully spraying the soil back with a spray bottle, and they are growing and have roots so should not be long. I germinated them by laying them on a bed of damp sphagnum moss uncovered after soaking for 24 hours, in a covered container. Kept them 80 degrees for 5 hours each day, and 60 the rest of the time. Had 4 out of 10 Thai Black germinate this way also, both in two weeks.
