So I had about 5-10 seeds and I placed 2 or 3 into a shot glass full with distilled water (just to start out and see if they would grow) (let tap water distill for 1 day before placing seeds in shot glass), the next day I placed the shot glass full of seeds in a dark closet for 1 day, let them absorb water, and when I went to check on the seeds, they all absorbed water and were at the bottom of the shot glass. So, I placed each seed in their own pot of potting soil (each seed less than an inch into the soil) watered the pots thoroughly with distilled water, set the pots outside in a very sunny area, covering one of them with a clear plastic wrap (for humidity and moisture) and let the other two sit without any covering on them. I went on with my business and kept checking the pots to see when they were dry and watered them with distilled water once again, and repeated this process over and over, and NONE of the seeds had any sprouts. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong? I even dug them up after 2 weeks and have them placed in a wet paper towel in a baggie taped to my window, hoping that they will sprout this way. The seeds were not burnt or damaged in any way. I would appreciate any help with this problem and any tips anyone might have for me to try.
Thanks a lot, -newbdude
