Try this. Soak the seeds first for 24 to 48 hrs. Then put them in slightly damp vermicilite in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. Check very frequently - at least twice a week - and as soon as you see any sign of germination, plant all of the seeds and put the pot in the coolest place you have outside. You must use a deep pot. I planted my seeds in two gallon pots last year, and found a tuber underneath the pot when I moved one. It had gone right through the drainage hole.
