-Cracked in water no problem.
-Moved to paper towel and it opened with the root all twisted around itself.
-Moved to the soil in the usual fashion but the twist could not be unraveled (without breaking).
-Turns out the twist is half root/half stem. As it started to emerge from the soil it was fine but it began to "flop" as the leaves gained size and weight.
-5 days in soil and it just flopped fright over. I removed the entire plant and root "ball", straightened it as much as I dared and replanted it with more of the stem in the soil (than normal) to allow it to bear it's own weight in an upright position. I re-packed it and watered it. It looks low but not too bad. Still about 15/20mm from soil to the cotyledon leaves.
