Dear Mr. Olenio,

Thanks for the mail.

No special treatment is required for germinating pomegranate seeds. These
germinate quite readily. I have done it with the wild pomegranate.

As regards growing pomegranate plants indoors, all plants can be grown
indoors provided they get right temperature and enough light. But most
pomegranate varieties are deciduous and therefore not very deal as indoor
plants. However, there are some varieties that do not shed leaves during
winter. These should suit more.

In my opinion, you should try cuttings and not seeds as that will give you
faster results.

Best regards,

Dr. Chiranjit Parmar
