    I harvested them from the fruits I foraged in Calabria, Italy at the entrance to our hotel. Packaged them well and brought them home by plane (Italy -> Germany).

    Getting the seeds to germinate was (so far) the hardest part. Had a small plastic box from a 1kg Haribo I bought some days ago (like that one: picture).
    Germination to something green took about 1 or 2 weeks. Of about 10 seeds only these germinated, the others either molded or didnt germ. Molding probably because not properly cleaned/desinfected.
    The box + cactus earth + a bit of water, closing it and letting it stay in indirect sunlight.

    Between picture 1 and the update were 13 days. I have them now on the balcony in direct sunlight and they seem to be even bigger now.

    Any other questions I can answer?
