Fill a glass with water and set the seed atop, ensuring the pointed end faces upwards. The base of the seed should be submerged in about 3 centimeters of water.
Ideal Location:
Position the glass in a spot with warmth and ample sunlight. This encourages growth.
Nurturing the Seedling:
Waiting Game: Over a span of 2 to 8 weeks, the seed will start to sprout roots. Once a prominent root emerges, reaching around 15cm in length, trim it down to approximately 8cm.
Sprouting Leaves: Shortly after the root’s appearance, you’ll notice budding leaves.

Planting: Create a hole in the soil’s center, approximately the depth of half the seed’s size. Place the seed in this hole, ensuring that its top half remains exposed.
