Just sow the seeds on moist peat (not wet). They germinate readily, at =

"parachute" before sowing, but I do not know if this is important. You =
could also sow them on pieces of bark, but this requires frequent =
watering. In this case you should not remove the parachute. If you do =
not succeed from seeds, they are very easy to establish from cuttings. =
If you let some of the branches establish in a new pot before you cut =
them, there should be no problem.
