Hi, I am still a fresh newbie here, please guide me to care for my baby.

Few days ago I tried to germinate my last and only Delahaze seed with a mixture of H2O2 3% and water, and it is a great success.

On 29 April, I put the sprout inside the soil mix with perlite. And on 30th the cotyledon broke out from the seed shell, but the membrane stuck so the cotyledon cannot open, so I carefully remove the membrane.

Now it is 2nd of may and the cotyledon does not open fully like the image below and I can see the first set of leaf in between the cotyledon

What should I do so the cotyledon will open its leaf fully??

Thank you :)

Part of the membrane inside the seed shell is still attached to the cotyledons.
Mist it with water and it will soften so you can easily but gently remove it.
I do it all the time without issue.

Thanks for replying MickFoster!

Yes I have successfully remove it yesterday by lightly watering the sticky membrane.

As the membrane removed I finally can see slight gap between the leaf

Is there any problem you can detect from the photo?

How about the colour of the stem is it normal?
