If it does not come off itself you want to take a razor blade on run it over the crack of the seed to make it easier to open up.
karmaxul Reviewed by karmaxul on . Shell still on Cotyledon What will happen to a plant which has just sprouted and still has some of its seed shell on it?? I tried to remove it with a pair of tweezers with no sucess. I was afraid of shocking the root system any more than I had so I just left it on hoping in a day or 2 it will fall off on its own. What should I feed a newly sprouted seed? First time growing my own... N E advice would be most helpful Rating: 5
