    I've grown them from seeds. Usual way to germinate. place seed about and inch deep in a small pot on sunny windowsill. seal within clear pastic bag until germination is complete. remove plastic bag and let it rock. It's a pretty slow growing plant and you wont get flowers for about 5 years. When large enough - transplant to bigger pot. They have pretty big tap roots so a big pot is suggested.

    I am growing one at the moment, it is taking its time to grow. Its about 2 inches high at the moment, and was planted about a year ago.

    I put it in a small pot on a sunny windowsill indoors and watered it daily.
