why don't you sprout?

Hi my red rocoto seeds are really slow to germinate. It's been 20 days since I left them on a wet tissue in the germbox and none of them has sprouted...

What do you suggest me to do? Temperatures of the germbox are always between 85 and 95° F. Many other varieties have sprouted without any problem.

I would wait about 20 more days then you may need to get an alternate source of seeds. Sometimes you just get a bad batch

I say try some good old soil

95 may have fried them / caused them to rot... 83 to 87 is a much better range IMO.

in that temperature range had no problems with other varieties, only rocotos are stubborn!

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.
