Fill a bowl with tepid water. Place the seeds in the water and allow them to soak for three to four hours.
Fill a small sowing tray with a seed starter soil. You can buy this at any garden supply store. You can also use vermiculite or a mixture of one part compost and one part perlite or sand.
Scatter the seeds evenly over the surface of the soil. Barely cover the seeds with soil.
Put the tray in a plastic bag and place in a sunny window. The plastic bag acts like a small greenhouse -- it helps keep the soil warm and humidity high. You can also put the tray on a heating pad and keep the temperature between 80 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
Water the pot from below daily and water the soil on the top every three days. In five to 10 days, the seeds will begin to sprout. After the seeds germinate, water only from below.
Transplant the seedlings one month later. The pot should be two times larger than the root ball. Make sure the pot has drainage holes.
