Are they warm? And in a dark place?
They can take anything from 24 hours to 10 days.
How old are they?
the in a drak place (between 2 plates) buy i put it a warm but when i feel the napkin is cold. what u think i should do?
that's not really a dark place if the plates are out in the sun. the sun is bright and paper plates are not good at stopping light.
I suggest getting a small tupperware will hold moisture in the air better than plates container and put the seeds in there with the towels. Then go set the container in a warm completely dark place.
But other than that, it could just be the seeds.
Just a thought.

Warm place... warm... like a WiFi router... or a cable TV box... or something like that... Warm...
every time i put the napkin some where warm i feel it later and it gets cold again. should i just put em in the soil.

Seriously, change your quote.Quote:

But then again, this is an older thread, so it's probably either worked or hasn't by now.
why does that seem silly to you lolQuote:

cheers all :)
mine take like 2 days, try new seeds
I got some seeds last year and all 10 didn't germinate. So, sometimes that happens. Also, if the seeds are more than a year old, there is a good chance they won't germinate.
As far as germinating, I use peat pellets, put them in a humidity dome or a short rocks glass and put saran wrap over it and put it in a closet. I get about 80+% germination rate that way.
Good luck!
