Also Gilliberic Acid (a plant hormone) is handy for kick starting the germination.
Ok, ok, lucky I have not thrown that few pots away. However, i've moved it away from my terrarium and the media is dried up for about 1 month + already. Will wait for the rains in Sept-December where it is cooler to try again.
