Germinate them on moist paper towels (wet but not soaking) for 4-7 days. Take the germinated seeds and plant approximately 1 1/2 inches deep in potting soil. Water approximately twice a week just to dampen the soil.

Once the plant is growing (about 6 inches tall) you will need to add a stake next to it for it to grow up.

If you have just a handful then sandwich them between two layers of cotton wool, put them on a plate, water them keeping the bottom constantly moist. Place the plate on a windowsill, indoors. Wait about three days for them to sprout.

If you intend growing them; put them in soil covering then about an inch. Keeping the soil moist (but not permanent flooding) the shoots will appear about 3 to 6 days and grow into plants.
