Problem with a coffee type cup is drainage. If you don't have drainage then you run a big risk of over watering the seedling and killing it. The top 1/2 of the soil is dry and the bottom 1/3 is wet and moldy and root rot can set in quickly. You also run a big risk of damping off as well or other problems.
Zandor Reviewed by Zandor on . Papertowel Method question Hey everyone. I just did the paper towel method like two days ago, and now I got a small, but thick (for it's size) root! My question is, how long do I leave it in the paper towel? And when I do take it out, do I plant it right a way? Thanks! Rating: 5
