I have never grown them myself from seed but, from what I've heard, you really don't need to be too precious about it. Just take the seeds out of the pods and stick them in a pot with regular potting mix.

They're a piece of cake to grow from seed. Sprinkle the seeds on some seed raising mix and water every day. They grow best warm, so greenhouse or windowsill are your best bet. The cotyledons are sort of two lobed.

thanks, ill give it a go
cheers
