Hi! You can keep the seedling in the paper towel until the cotyledons have appeared but some people say that by waiting this long you will destroy some of the hair roots that has already grown in to the paper towel. I personally like to wait until leaves appear and plant them to soil and bury everything under the cotyledons. This way I don't have to bury the seed and wait if she will sprout from soil but I can see her all the time. Nutrients for the soil depends on the strenght of your soil and basic rule is maybe 2-3 weeks only water and after that start using nutes and go slowly

Anywhere from 7-15 days on germination. If your using a soil with added nutes. Wait for like 3-4 weeks if not I'd start after its first true leaf appears and at 1/4 str! Happy growing!

that seed can germinate in 48 hours, but if your seed is older you might have to wait for 15 days while keeping it well-humidified every day, your paper must not dry out! You can start little by little at the third node of your plant or when you transplant it into the 3-liter or 11-liter pots. don't hesitate to check out the growing charts online
