Xerophyta sprouting?

Is this a plant or seeds? If a plant, try burning it. In the wild,
Xerophyta retinervis often looks dead for months on end. In winter a fire
sweeps through the grass, the Xerophyta plants are burned, and they
immediately begin to sprout. If seeds, perhaps try smoke.

OK, anybody have experience with sprouting Velloziaceae? How do we do it?

I've tried planting Xerophyta retinervis in a pot, watering regularly,
and leaving it outside for about a year now. What next?

Thanks,

Leo
