I have never heard of this one so can't offer any useful help.
I suspect you will be pioneering the info on this one.

hmm apparently they can start blooming at 1 foot tall and 4 years old... this makes me happy.
i still cant find any info on fertilising and stuff though, so experimenting will be in order...

Im not sure the seedlings are going to make it though... i think it may have been too humid in my grow box as some of the dropped seed casings have started to mould.
i removed the mouldy bits and moved the affected seedlings to a quarantine area just in case they pull through, and now i have the remainders in open air under my patio to dry out a little bit...
