You can do this: put the seed in a glass of warm water up to 3 days until you see the seed opening and the tap root starting to come out. Keeping the water warm will help a lot, so try to put it on a germinating mat or on top of a router or something like that. After it opens plant it in soil.

But back to your seed...... look for it in the soil, someties they grow wrong direction. After you found the seed keep the area humid ( give the area a small "open dome" to keep humidity high....... a plasticbottle with holes does a good job here. If your seed dont sprout after 10 days in the medium....... well most time dead #

I tried to do some " shortcut" in germination, but itdid not not work. To have the best germination rate just go with soaking and papertowel method., or anything like this. Iam looking at my seeds, everything that is not shiny and solid.... i toss, and if the seed is still swimming after 24 hours... i toss and if a seed dont germinate under the towel after 4 days... wont do it at all Ive been trying different germination methods, using the soaking and papertowel... gives you a 100 percent rate

I'll try it thanks

I didnt add the correct details. My temp is at 75. Humidity is 75. And yes I did the paper towel thing. I guess I'm just stumped because the first plant is now 2 inches tall and when I dug beside it to see why it was growing for the 5 days. The taproot is now almost an inch long.
