My method to germinate the jaboticaba seeds is very easy:
1. Put garden soil in a pot
2. Just put the seeds on the surface of the soil, then make
sure half of the seeds body covered with dirt.
3. After that put dry jaboticaba leaves on the top of the
seeds.Keep the soil and the dry leaves in the pot moist but
not to soggy. Put the pot under the tree shade.
4. Then transplant the individual seedlings to new pot or polybag
