How Long To Soak

Soaking seeds in a glass of water for twelve to twenty four hours softens the shell and starts the process, but past thirty six hours the embryo can drown and the seed goes soft. If a seed has not cracked by the end of day one it should go into a damp towel or into the medium rather than staying submerged.
