Velthemia Seeds

Dear Arlen Jose,
Since you seem to be curious about the progress of your
seed you may like to know that I have had complete success simply placing the
Veltheimia seed on wet paper towel in a take away container. I achieved a 100%
success rate just standing them on the kitchen bench.

Greetings from Snowy & Cold Boston,
I have just ordered some Velthemia seeds from the PBX 57 and I was wondering
what the preferred or best way to start them indoors.
I have some Cyrtanthus seeds from a previous order that were placed on a
very gritty peat/extra fine bark mixture and was covered with coarse sand
about 1/4" or about 3mm. Now, being the nosy impatient person that I am, of
course I had to delicately scrape the sand back to see if any of the seeds
had sprouted and to my complete delight...they did!!!
I was wondering if this technique (less the digging around) will work for
Velthemia seeds. Please let me know.
Very Warm Regards,
