I didnt do anything special , just dumped them in a pot slightly covered with some soil , water , thats it . I did keep them in filtered light and humid , not exposed to rain . Now x years later and in the ground , they are taking over ...coming up meters away from where they were planted . They have been fruiting for 2 to 3 years .
