So I just started my pineapple chunk seed and its been in a wet paper towel in the a warm dark area for 4 days. Its doing nothing. Not sprouting or anything. Bad seed or did I do something wrong?
I do that even with fresh seeds when I want all of them to go at the same time...it works fine,most of them are starting after cracking.But,yes,wait them to start normally for a few days(but too much waiting in moisture also can cause them to rot from the inside) and do it as a"last ditch effort".Like now:)It could help.If you think it’s a dud then pop it in your mouth and bite down lightly on it along the ridge to gently pry it open, just a little. You have to be careful when doing this. But you can feel it opening up. Then go back into the paper towel for another day or so.
It’s a last ditch effort to save the seed. It may or may not work. So don’t do it with fresh seeds, only seeds you think are duds.
