These lovely and healthy Nageia Nagi seeds were just imported from Taiwan, cleared USDA inspection on 1/4/2008. I kept most of the Nagi seeds in the refrigerator and took one third of them and soaked them in water for two days to help germination. I changed the water every day. Some I planted directly into flower pots. Those pots are without drainage holes so I have to spray the water evenly and carefully to prevent overwatering.
There are 30 healthy Nagi seeds in the white rectangle pot (71/4"x31/2"x3").
50 Nagi seeds in a black slab pot (6"x4"x31/2")
72 Nagi seeds in this apple green rectangle pot (9"x51/4"x4") 
I planted 100 seeds in this great looking boat shape resin pot.
I planted the Nagi seed in these pots on 1/13/2008. I took these pictures on 2/3/2008.
The pot covered with hydroton clay pebbles grew fast, the roots are already starting to pop out. Hydroton is a porous, hydroponic growing medium made from fired clay. The other three pots, they did not grow at all. Maybe the clay pebbles kept the moisture and heat in, so they were germinating faster? I read that hydroton also helps circulate oxygen.
Since the ones with regular soil did not grow, I am going to try and cover the other three pots with clay pebbles.
