I mean, I don't have any particular expertise on the problem, bear in mind, but if it's only <i>just</i> sprouted, I wouldn't expect any cotyledons to show immediately.

I dried them for only about 4 weeks, and then wrapped them in wet paper towel in a zip-lock baggie (like growing bean seeds in elementary school). one I could see a root start to form and the others I saw nothing. I planted all of them anyway and the one started Kapt'n Splashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16649706348440947038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-50867192677179780542013-04-17T07:18:18.217-07:002013-04-17T07:18:18.217-07:00Paul:
