I've bought 100 W. filifera seeds online in February, most of them had germinated already - some in a cup of water, some in an old pot w/no heat, at 22-27C. Germination rate is about 90%.
When it gets warmer and they are literally stuffed in the pot I just turn the pot upside down, divide the roots (most seedlings will still only have the leading root, no small roots) and quickly repot. Never failed.

As for getting past the Schengen zone - thanks for the offer, there's few scenarios - we can believe the b*****it current Ukrainian "President" says (moos, to be more precise) and wait one year for the visas and all that stuff to be cancelled and still get nothing because it's science fiction.
And the other way is I can ask for the help of my bamboo-nut pal, who lives on Slovak border in Uzhhorod I guess he has some experience in this area
Užhorod lives only for migration and smuggling. lol, former Slovaks will not lose in this world, they will make profit out of everything. Yuri, don't be so sad about your president, watch the video in my signature and be glad that you are a member of an alliance, that can last more than 15 years. We might get behind you once the EU breaks down.
Besides, you can't fight your neighbours. They are your neighbours. You will be living alongisde each other for a veeeeery long time.
