Put the seeds in a ziplock bag. 2. Put the bag in the refrigerator and leave it there for 3-4 weeks. 3. The seeds like moist soil. Use a sterile seed starter mix, if available. It prevents soil fungi from damaging the seeds and the seedlings. If not available, then make a mixture of half potting soil and half sand, perlite or vermiculite. 4. Put the soil in a pot. 5. Sow the seeds on the surface of the soil. Press the seeds into the soil. 6.  Cover the seeds with a layer of soil that is 1/8 of an inch thick. The seeds need light to germinate. 7.
