Grant,

I've germinated C. pubescens seeds from Bolivia, Equador, Guatamala etc and have found that temps in the low to mid 80s F work well.  Just keep whatever your germination medium is slightly moist.  The average sprouting time for the over 20 varietes I've tried is about 8-9 days.

This year my Manzano Rojo seeds took 11 days.

Hi

I have just acquired 8 Manzano seeds and want to propagate a few
plants.  Can you let me know if the seeds better at 70 degrees F (22
degrees C) with high humidity or 65 degrees F (18 degrees C) with low
humidity?

I'm guessing if they naturally occur high in the Bolivian mountains
then the cooler and less humidity option is best?????


regards
grant
