Nice, glad you are trying again. So far, I haven't got one of them to germinate.

Of the seeds I did buy, the birds of paradise were the easiest (5 out of 12). I also was able to get the black thai to germinate as well (4 out of 12).

I bought 25 yunnan seeds and nothing yet. It's been 10 months already... I was hoping they'd be ready so I'd get some growing time in this summer outdoors.

I even used the cape smoke primer to help with the germination, as well as heat mats, and the plastic container with seed starter.

What gives.
