I simply sowed my seeds without any before procedure... just dived into the deep end
Improvisation + procrastination + naivety were the keys to this successful propagation =D

Casuarina Equistifolia seeds + Tofu boxes + crappy soil + tofu box lid + brick = happiness

All the best, its very easy =D

Also: I did this two years ago... MY REGRET WAS NOT TWISTING SOME into shapes, however, I do have lots of mini casuarina groves! Could make cute shohin forests =D
