I have had success with pure arils, 1/2-breds, and 1/4-breds as pod parent.
If you make enough crosses you're bound to have some of them take. Satan's
Mistress (quarterbred) makes a great parent on both sides.

Once it is a few inches tall it should be large enough & strong enough to
quit being pampered. That's my guess, anyway. The only technique I've
ever tried is raising them in pots outdoors exposed to the elements
year-round.
