That the root and when you plant it should be planted with the root down about 1/2 inch. They will sprout in 2 to 14 days good luck. Bizzy
bizzy9 Reviewed by bizzy9 on . Seedlings & Sprouts Pretty basic question, im confused. When a seed first sprouts, is that the actual plant or is that the root? Its kind of hard to plant it being so small, any tips? Does it have to stick out of the soil or rockwool? Rating: 5
