I'm getting some D. Capensis seeds from Adam but there's one problem, I have no idea what to do! Are there any steps, where should I plant it? How? Is there a guide to this somewhere?

Thanks! You won't believe what I thought it meant! I thought that germinate meant that it had to start building bacteria to sprout in some crazy, complicated process.
