Hi Mary Jane,
just plant the seeds in a plastics container without drainage holes fill
it about 80% with good soil and plant the seeds halfway in the soil.
Flood the container with water so the water level is slightly above the
soil. Thyphonodorums are very easy to grow, no big deal at all. Good
growing Best Regards Peter
