I planted some i. setosa seeds (that I bought at Wal-Mart) 28 days ago
and they have not germinated. The packet says they will germinate in
18-21 days. They are inside my house (70'F) in a container with some
general all-purpose potting soil. I've kept the soil very wet since
planting them.
Why haven't they sprouted?
I have more seeds. I'm thinking of putting them in a container with the
same soil but putting them outside. Do they need the cold to germinate?
