With rocotos if you get 50% germination you are doing well.
Ok i remember you mentioning that now on the Florida thread but I had forgotten the details. I have a heat matt now that i didnt have before so i will try the water soaking, and heat matt method and give them more time. I dont think i waited three weeks even before.

Thanks,
