Number: What I’m watching
1) 05.01 Put the seed in a wet cloth.
2) 07.01 A small appendage appeared.
3) 09.01 The process has become larger.
4) 12.01 The seed has sprouted and you can plant it in the ground.
Conclusion: The transition of a seed from a state of dormancy to the growth of an embryo and the formation of a seedling takes several days. It all depends on the humidity and temperature of the environment where the seed is located.
