You can very, VERY gently use your fingers to manipulate it and point it where you want it going...

 

[korvette1977]

You can poke a hole in the sponge for the root to guide itself down

 

[billxfenz]

ok..... 1 thing im still not too sure bout...if the root is small and the seed is still intact do you put it in the bottom of the sponge so the root is already stickin out?or near the top so the root has to grow before reaching the exit on the sponge

In the middle .......................

Do you have any of the brown AG sponges? I don't know what kit you have.
I got the Master Gardener kit with my AG. The grey sponges seems to be a bit to tight. The brown ones seem to allow the roots to take hold easier and break out the bottom sooner.

used to make a hole in bottom of sponge but think it takes longer becuase the root has nothing to grap on to so it just gets longer and longer until side roots develop and the leaves can than push them selfs up
