Here are my tips on seed propagating. I should add that growing plants from seed is the best way to get new varieations and mutations as well as new hybrids.

I first pick the berries when they are rippened usually they are easy to fall off I dont have to pull on them so when they are ready to drop. Then get a bowl of water and squeeze the seeds out and clean them as best as possible I usually do this with my hands or paper towel. After this they are then planted in a humidity chamber which is basically a plastic container. I use promix and the soil is damp seeds are covered up with about 1 inch of soil.
