Hi C-H's,

Niall Shackleford asked:

>Any pointers on getting Rocotos to spout.........

A heating mat. Rocotos are tough to germinate unless the soil 
temperature is in the 75-90degF range. The nearer 90deg you get the 
better the germination rate. Do NOT however go hotter!

You can buy seed tray heaters off the internet, or you might go into 
your local "Boots" and see if they have a back or foot warming pad.
