Germination; Sow indoors at any time. Prior to sowing soak seed overnight. Surface sow x 1 seed per 8cm pot of moist, well-drained seed compost. Just cover seed with a sprinkling of soil. Ideal temp. 24-27°C. Germination takes 30-90 days. Even under ideal conditions germination can be erratic and take much longer. Allow seedlings to grow on in the pot while the rhizome forms. Pot on as required or acclimatise and plant out after danger of frost has passed.
When you see some tiny plants starting to sprout, open the top of the pot, a little each day, so that the new seedlings don't go into shock from the humidity being lowered too quickly. Prick out each seedling as it becomes large enough to handle, transplant into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Pot on as required. These plants have very fragile white roots and should be handled with care when potting up.
