Post #6743686

I have recently purchased some various seeds from heliconias. When i received these seeds, my jaw hit the floor. I was in over my head. These seeds may as well be pebbles in my aquarium because they resemble rocks! I was told to "Scarify" these seeds. I used a knife and scraped and made incisions on the seeds... Broke one :( They have been currently sitting in water that i have replaced 2 in the 24 hours since i received. What information do i need to know to make these beauties grow??? I am totally going in this one blind.
