Use the paper towel method for consistent germination success:

  1. Place seeds between two damp (not soaked) paper towels.
  2. Sandwich between plates for darkness and airflow.
  3. Keep warm (~70–75°F); check daily.
  4. When taproots reach ~½”, pre-mount into medium root-tip down.

⚠️ Avoid plastic-sealed containers that can suffocate or over-moisturize seeds.
