It Should pop out of the soil in a day after planted in soil. maybe two days sometimes a bit longer but thats THE MAXIMUM.So like a few days max, But it depends how far deep in you planted the seed. It's suppose to planted half of the size of the seed length deep in the soil so like quarter of an inch deep. If you planted it in more deeper, it will take more time for it to make its way to the surface , Know wah im saying?
