Keep them moist but not soaked. Keep them warm. Once they sprout plant them but dnt touch the root with finger. Ya want to use a tweezer.

I just soak them in water for 24 hrs and then plant them. They are up in 2 days.

Ya can touch them with any thing sterile. Your gloves will be perfect.

I soak mine in water because there is no risk. Paper towel dries out you are done. The paper towel gets too wet your done.

I like it safe. No loss of seeds.

Be careful.

in a closed container or two plates stacked it will stay wet for a couple days, then just mist the paper towel if needed.

We could not answer that one. Ya can get it wet and tilt the towel so some will run out if ya used too much water.

Thats why i soak and plant. Less worry and less bullshit.
