    Default Germination

    I've had about 8 seeds sitting in a cup of water for 3 days and only one seems to have even shown a little spurt of cracking the shell. Should I forge on or give up? The room was kind of cold, so could that have been it?

    it can take over a week for a seed to germinate, so give it some more time before you give up.

    soak seeds in water till they sink 1 hour - 1 day then place in moist paper towel and place the towel in a plastic bag and put in a warm place. if you have had your seeds in water for 3 days you may have droun them

    Why you trying to germinate in just a cup of water? Use paper towel method.

    Well they were free so I'll not be crying, but when my purchased Ice seeds come in I'll definetely being doing 100% paper towel if none germinate.

    Paper towel is way of germinate. Don't think you can germinate in a glass of water :/

    You can, but maybe it's because I have well water and didn't bother to pH test it (I noticed some fuzz around one or two of the seeds, could have been it dissolving the shell). But anyways drenched some paper towel, put it in a bag, wrapped it up in a blanket and I'll check in on it in a day or two. (My house is cold with no warm spots)

    A total of three have popped in ~4-5 days, none are an inch long however. I'm so excited. I was really about to give up on these guys. 9 More days for my Ice seeds as well hehe. Getting too happy, I swear.
