OK, I know you guys in the US can just order Heliconia rhizomes and everyone's happy, no need for seed...however for those of us who have to rely on seed as our only source of Heliconiaceae I thought this thread would be useful.

I am a glutton for punishment and would like to venture into the primordial world of this tropical monocot.

Is there any of you who have germinated Heliconias from seed, if so how did you do it?
