Sow directly into rich garden soil or in pots. A popular mix consists of 50% aged, black, fine compost (from bark), 15% sandy, sterile loam, 15 % pumice or perlite, and 20% fine peat moss. I use a mix of 1/2 peat moss and 1/2 perlite. Shallow ( 3" deep) plastic grower's trays with newspaper lining the bottom make excellent growing containers. Other have good luck with very different mixes and containers.
Sprinkle seeds on surface, they should not be completely covered. Water from beneath. If watering from above, be sure that the mist is quite fine. Seal growing area with glass or plastic, leaving plenty of room over the seeds for ventilation. Maintain a soil temperature of 70-85ºF. Bottom heat is very effective.
Keep moist, having a sterile soil with peat moss and pumice is very healthy for the seedlings. Good moisture, good drainage very bright light and heat and aeration are important factors for high germination rates.
USDA: 9-10. Full sun. Heat tolerant. Little water. Hardy to 15°F. Grows to 50' tall. Native to the Sonoran desert of southwestern USA and Sonora state in Mexico.
