It seems to help them to dry out for awhile before planting them. If you plant them immediately they tend to start with strange leaf configurations, weakly and other little strange things. Usually the plants will eventually show normal growth. my favorite mom I made a year or so back I pulled off of a live plant and stuck it right in it's germination mix. She had a triploid type leaf formation~don't know if early germing was the cause or not, but 4 out of 5 came up "weird" with that round of germing so i think it may have been the result of it.

good luck
