Out of 30 seeds only 1 germinated within 120 days (the limit for viability with these seeds?)
Any tips to get a better, if possible almost perfect, germination record?
All used the same method - heated propagator, on top of well drained soil.
Consistent germination results for Dragon Tree (dracaena draco) seeds?
Can you dig up the seeds that didn't germinate and take a look at them? If they're gone or mushy, they probably weren't viable to begin with. If they're hard, they probably need scarification -- I don't know this species, but a number of other species in this genus do need scarification for prompt germination. Go ahead and scarify -- you don't have anything to lose at this point.
With the next batch, you might also consider rinsing half the seeds for 24-48 hours to see if there's a germination inhibitor-- my usual method is to put the seeds in a tea ball under a drippy faucet. Make sure they get adequate oxygen while they're rinsing.
