Rocotos are hard to germinate. It takes at least three weeks and some times longer. The last time I planted I soaked some overnight in buttermilk, some in water and did scarification on some. The ones soaked in water did the best, buttermilk was 2nd and almost none of the one I did scarification on germinated. I do use a seed heat mat but I use that for all peppers. With rocotos if you get 50% germination you are doing well.
