I have had more luck sprouting  "accidental" Rocotos   and had no luck
at all with the ones I planted on purpose and nutured carefully in a
small Gro-Pak.

Last year I had some dried rocotos and used them in a sauce.  I
discarded the seeds and tossed them into my worm composter.   The inside
of this thing  is dark, warm and moist.
I have several and rotate adding kitchen waste to each in turn.   It was
probably about 3 weeks before I opened that container again to add some
veggie waste.   Nestled inside were  a bunch of seedlings about 3 -4
inches tall  with  2 "true" leaves just beginning to develop.   I
selected the 6 sturdiest seedlings and planted them and they grew
beautifully.

Hey, maybe they are shy and like privacy, darkness, and warmth.
