OK so, at this stage, I got a few more seeds and started germinating right away. One of them got a big taproot but the rest seem to not be making any progress. I will try to plant them anyway but I'm worried since this is the 2nd time germination went wrong and I'm not sure where the mistake is...

I planted one of the 2 that were still in the bowl today. The other one has shown no signs of progress but I'll try planting it tomorrow, as you say it's worth a try. The other 3 plants are growing nicely I think, I can see the progress each day. I'll post a pic of them later today. About...

"What bothers me is the fact that 2 of the seeds haven't finished their germination yet and have remained in the same state inside the bowl (really, really small taproot) for the last 3 days. Is there any chance that the germination failed for them and can I do something about it? I'm also...
