    The high temperature needed is mantained via a heated mat and the humidity comes from a water bowl.

      Wow that's amazing! I love how the seeds splits and stays on the stem. I'm curious....do you grow this as an indoor and put it out in the summer? And the obvious: could you ever make your own chocolate this way? :heehee:

      These particular seedlings are grown indoor in a terrarium environment. they are very young. An expert on tropicals expects them to die at the height of about 35 cm. So the answer is to wait and see...
