I haven't any experience with this particular seed, but I have germinated other seeds in sphag. moss. When the seeds have started putting out feeder roots and leaves, I take a scissor and cut the moss as close to the roots as I can and plant it in the soil. The moss won't hurt the plant. Hopefully someone else will chime in with suggestions.

This is perfect timing for me, In october I recieved 14 white tacca seeds and planted 8 of them in peat pellets and 6 in a damp paper towel sitting on hydroton, both groups sealed in plastic containers and set on a heating mat that warms them to around 95f - 100f. I checked friday and one of the peat seeds has germinated and 3 of the paper towel seeds has.

I figure I can just set the pellets in soil once they get a little bigger but I was thinking of going passive hydro with the others, Has anyone ever tried that?

Thank you. So I should wait for some leaves. I looked today and there is another seed with white sprout. Should I open the container to allow air circulation or the sprouts are ok in hot and humid conditions?
Thanks again.
