This species needs special care as described.
Special Care:
add detergent to water when soaking, sow in equal parts of peat, loam and grit with extra richness at bottom of pot, space 2" apart, allow absolutely no light during germination, provide steady supply of moisture, grow on in pot for 18 months, keeping leaves on as long as possible, stratification may be fatal
