I've germinated Capparis spinosa several times. bottom heat triggered
below 74F ambient temperature, average moisture, fluorescent plant 
lights about 12 h /day in 50% peat and  50% perlite. You should get
good germination in 14 days or so.

Unfortunately, beyond the stage of 4-6 true leaves, I've had no success
- the little guys just sulk and eventually die. Perhaps they need
some mutualistic fungus?
