Candle Bush Germination:
1) Gently rub with fine sandpaper. When the shell starts to change color, stop sanding.
2) Use a thermos to soak the seeds overnight in a bowl of 120-degree Fahrenheit water. Keep the seeds that sink to the bottom and throw away the seeds that float.
3) Plant seeds 2 inches apart in the moistened seed starting mix. Lightly cover with a very fine layer of moist soil.
4) Use a piece of plastic with a few tiny hole cut into it to cover and seal it shut to retain humidity.
