I would plant the seeds right away. I received some H. eucharidifolia seeds last year. I "planted" them (in early July 2006) on some sphagnum moss in a clear, covered plastic container under artificial light. In a couple of months, most of the seeds started producing roots and small bulbs. I transfered the the seeds to a pot, burying the root and bulb, but leaving the green seed on the surface. In a few weeks they produced a narrow leaf, which grew, then gradually withered away over the winter. This year, in late spring, they started producing broad "eucharidifolia" leaves. I'm getting ready to transfer them to a larger pot.
I should add that I am growing them indoors under fluorescent lights. Once I transplant them, I'm going to move the pot outdoors.
