            | Materdoc | Bloomington, IN USA | I soak them for 4 hours or so, then pop them into sterile seed-starting mix.82.5 degrees & high humidity (around 90%)
 Usually I expect to get germination around 3 days but I actually had 20% of up at 48 hours several weeks ago.
 I had been playing around with temperatures & found 82.5 degrees was best f maters.
