Pre-soak the large seeds. Place the seeds into a container of hot water and allow them to soak for 3 days. Plant at a depth of 1 1/2" using well draining soil mixture. Keep constantly warm and in bright light. Germination can take up to 5 months. Another option is to use a traditional shortcut which applies to many seeds that have hard seed coats is to carefully file away a portion of the seedcoat to allow moisture to reach the embryo.
