Carlos, if you ever read this, please make your own youtube channel and share all your tricks. Also, I'm starting Puakenikeki from seed since my luck with getting a live plant has been extremely bad. Each time something bad happens which is out of my control (like bad shipping or dishonest vendors). I have been trying to obtain this species on and off for over ten years. Most of the time, they are not even for sale. Anyway, I assume they are bird-dispersed. My mechanical scarification+vinegar didn't seem to be efficient enough and the cotyledons seem to be getting stuck inside the seed case. I have made special tweezers and jewelry tools to get some of them off. Anyway, can you recommend any household products for chemical scarification of seed?
