Every source i can find says that cephs are slow growers and should be babied during their first 2 years of life. I have some seeds that will be coming out of an 8 week cold stratification soon. They are currently on a 3:1 mix of sand and peat. What can I do to ensure that they will germinate and stay alive?

Do you remember what the temp/light conditions were during germination?

Light was natural sunlight and daylength at 41N 124W during February and March. Temps ranged from about 45F to 70F, depending on whether days were cloudy or sunny.

I suspect in nature there is natural selection for the seeds not to germinate for at least 2 to 3 months after they are shed. (In a similar concept Sarracenia seeds can mature months before the pods actually open.) There may be nothing you can do to speed up the process. Maybe our friends in SW Australia can shed some light on this. The advantage of cold stratification is it is a safer way to maintain the seeds for two months. Under normal conditions, the pots can be overrun with cyanobacteria or mosses in two months.
