As anyone had luck with these seeds.If anyone could tel me how to germinate the seeds.

I had no problems with these at all (keeping the seedlings healthy was another story) lightly scarify, then soak in warm water for 24 hours, bottom heat is helpful but not essential. I had close to 100% success rate within 1 month of planting. They got spider mites almost right away. And when I treated the mites, I killed all the seedlings (accidently) except for 1 wish is 6 months old now and is fighting a never ending battle against spider mites.

I have a couple of suggestions for you that might help you with the spider mites.

Option 1 : The first idea is to make a natural insecticide the mites can not stand. You will need the following items: Hot peppers (the hotter the better), onion, garlic, mince these items up and add a little water to the mix and let it stand for 24 hours. Strain this mix and save the juice and put it in a sprayer bottle and mist the plants with this liquid. Mites are generally on the undersides of the leaves so make sure you pay special attention to these area's.

Option 2 : The second solution is to buy a natural predator of the spider mite because this a great way to rid your plant of spider mites without harming the plant itself. The idea is the predator feeds on the spider mites and when they are all bone the predator will leave the plant to find more of them without ever thinking about harming the plant. I know of a website where you can buy some of these natural predators if you are unable to find them.
