put it in soil, with a bit of water (not too much) and put it under some light, 23 watt CFL 6500K work great for seedlings
Mr. Hyde
As in 18 on 6 off?be careful as 400w is allot of power for a seedling even at 50%, keep the bulb at least 24 inches away for the first while
Dr. Jekyll
You want to maintain at least 18/6 hours per day, but many will go 20/4 especially with auto's
Mr. Hyde
Thanks! That seems like a lot of sunlight, but not a problem. I'll try to find a lower power light so I don't fry it, and until then I'll limit its exposure by raising the light higher above it and maybe give it some shade with a paper plate.wow, they are cute little healthy babies, how nice
edit:yes 18-on 6-off

Don't worry about the shell, it will likely fall off in a day.
Dr. Hyde
I have a 12 day old girl with the shell still clamped on to a seed leaf. She's very healthy, but that little shell still wants to hang on.wow, they are cute little healthy babies, how nice
