I used a similar method to break the dormancy of canna seeds and had good germination rates! I wrapped them in moist kitchen towel and kept them warm in a ziplock bag. They took about a week to germinate!
I also use the moist kitchen towel method, its useful to be able to see what the seeds are doing. I use old takeaway tubs instead of ziplock bags because I find that when moving the bag it can sometimes break the roots of the more delicate plants.

@@Gardeningat58N yes I used the tub method to germinate parsnip seeds in the past!
Very interesting
Thanks I'm glad you found it interesting.
Can you put seeds in pond
How often do you change the water in the first week??
Interesting video bro 👍🏻
Thanks, hopefully in a year or two I might get flowers.
Can I plant the sprouts in Aquatic Potting Medium instead of soil?
Yes, in fact using aquatic potting medium would be better than using soil.
@@Gardeningat58N Thanks so much!
I feel like plants are sentient because how could it know where the water is and search for it like that. 😅 i could be hopeful though.
They are very invasive
They are in the tropics and warm temperate regions. Where I live they wouldn't survive outside so I'll be growing mine indoors or in a polytunnel.
