put it into soil NOW ... while some let the taproot grow a bit, it is risky ... that taproot is VERY sensitive, even light will kill it ... get it into a mild soil, and don't keep it too wet, or it will develop 'wilt' ... when I used the paper-towel method, mine went into soil at the first glimpse of the white ... of course, place the seed so that white taproot is facing DOWN ... :smokin:
