Well, I just took the one of the 23 seeds that was sprouting a root and planted it into some soil. I disinfected a tall, red plastic cup (like those that college kids use to play beer pong), washed it out and dried it. I filled it almost to the room with store-bought soil. I planted the seed about half an inch down in the center of the cup. I then used a solution of plant food and water, and watered it a little bit. It's sitting in my windowsill right now. Hopefully it'll just be a matter of time until I see some nice progress.

The other 22 seeds are surrounded by moist paper towels on a plate, which is wrapped up with plastic food wrapping. I've been making sure to keep the paper towels moist and not let them dry out. Hopefully I'll see some nice progress with more seeds soon.

From what you've read, I'd really appreciate some advice from fellow growers who are willing to give me any suggestions. I'm a beginner and this is my first attempt at growing so please try to bear with me. Thanks in advance for any advice you may have!
Edit: As suggested by another forum surfer, I should punch holes in the bottom of the cups for drainage. Therefore, I'm gonna put newspaper and paper towels inside a box or some container as liner to catch any drainage.

Anymore suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
