Step 2: Soaking
Soak the seeds in room-temperature water for about 6-12 hours. This helps in breaking down the seed coat and prepares it for germination.
Step 3: Paper Towel Method
Place the soaked seeds between a wet paper towel. Cover them and keep in a warm, dark place. Check after 24 hours for signs of germination.
Step 4: Planting
Once the taproot has emerged, plant the seed in a small pot with soil. Ensure the taproot is at the bottom of the pot.
Step 5: Care and Maintenance
Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Place the pot in a sunny spot or use a grow light. Ensure temperatures are between 65-80°F (18-27°C) for optimal growth.
