Any pointers on getting Rocotos to spout (perhaps a cold spell to break
dormancy?)? I have had no problems with any other type of chile that I have
tried to grow from seed but out of the few dozen Rocoto seeds I tried this
year (two varieties from Firework Seeds, Australia) only one has sprouted
(40 days) and now, after briefly extending its cotyledons, it seems to have
stopped growing.

Any help would be appreciated
