plant and water these seeds.
Also, how long does it take for germination?

I believe best off in a propogator at 25-30C with a good well draining gritty compost (john innes maybe), keeping moist, but not wet, and lid on for a humid environment until all seeds have germinated (2-4 weeks), then open the vent, or slightly open lid a bit more each day, until removed completely, keep warm in conservatory or greenhouse until large enough to cope on its own in its final placing.
