if you have more, go ahead and start some, just to be on the safe side; if those don't come up, you'll have more to put in. also, i recomend the paper towel method for beginners. put the towel on a plate, moisten, place beans on the towel, and cover with another towel. place somewhere WARM, and you should see popped beans withing 24 hours.

also, DON'T TOUCH THEM WITH YOUR HANDS! always use tweezers or forceps; the salts and oils from your fingers can and will kill the seedlings...

kindprincess Reviewed by kindprincess on . Germination questions Ok.. This is my first time, so have a few questions- Put my seeds in a glass and put in a dark place. They germinated after 4 days or so. Of the 6, 4 of them had the little sperm coming out from the shell, and the other 2 were just kind of busting out, but did not have the little string. So, I put them each in one pot on the window sill. Question- 1) They are now root down in pot with the proper soil etc. How often do I water them till they break the surface? 2) How long should it Rating: 5
