i hold the seed in a pair of needle nose pliers this is great for the small type of canna seeds i then run the seed back and forth across a file i can do ten small seeds in less then 5 mins . the biger canna seeds you can hold by hand . i soak my seeds for 72 hours i change the water 2 times a day use like warm water. i fill small foam coffee cups with vermiculite and plant a seed in each one. i have a better germnation rate useing the verm. i start my brugmansias in verm also . i got this about the Verm. from Alice Harris . my germnation rate is about 95 pecent sents i started doing it this way. when you do the canna seeds stop when you see some white on the seed from useing the file hope this may help . regards paul
