Perhaps that's the reason they are not yet sprouting though I see the white tiny roots emerging. Plants are so finicky - some like it hot and some like it cold; some like it light and some like it dark!!KLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06737654325235566310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737293877559899983.post-13051595577966581472013-03-07T08:39:56.822-05:002013-03-07T08:39:56.822-05:00Thanks Malay-kadazan girl.
