Can anyone tell me how to germinate and eventually care for a welwitschia 
seed/plant?  I am not having much luck, and I only have two seeds left.

Easy!

	Return to center of origin.  Bury lightly in soil.  Return after about
20 years and appreciate thevalue of organisms  in their ecological context!

No idea really, but I'd bet you have to get the temp. and humidity just right
and fairly constant.
