Kindbudzanswered grow question 7 years ago I usually use paper towels moistened in between two plates. Place the seeds in the wet paper towels and then the paper towel onto a plate. Take a second plate and turn it upside down and place it on top of the other seeds. I find that the top of my refridgerator is warm and place the plate on top of there. It should take 2-3 days for the roots to appear but can take up to 2 weeks. Don’t discard if they haven’t germinated within 72hrs. Make sure the conditions are right like high humidity and relatively warm temperature like 75-80f. Good luck!
