This is how I've been germinating some seeds since a few months, this one is Jubaea. Slightly moist soil in a sealed container, futher i neglect it totally. First germination was within 8 weeks. thumbnail_IMG_7090.jpg.9f32c3ec97da2812c8ab307a891676fb.jpgthumbnail_IMG_7092.jpg.c9d16ab16eaa8447a6bb65a16a1233cd.jpg

I kept my jubaea seed moist in perlite in a ziplock bag and put it on a heat mat for 24-48 hours then moved it off the heat mat and simply placed it on my counter and it sprouted very quickly
