Ema26answered grow question 5 years ago Greetings, I’d be very concerned if I had a baby stuck in its shell after 20 days, anytime I’ve germinated and the shell is still stuck after 3 days I remove them manually, personally I’d really take your time and gently remove any remains of the shell to give her a chance to open her leaves, misting water helps get them off, without this intervention she’ll never get the chance to see the sun and in turn she’ll more than likely die, just my 2 pence! Good luck!
