Three days and plant hasnt sprouted?

Hey guys I planted a germinated seed about three days ago and it hasn't sprouted

I'll explain what I did :

1. I took a cup of soil and I made the soil wet,

2. then I made a hole with a pencil and placed the sprouted seed into it,

3. then we made a slit in the bottom of the cup and kept it in a bowl of bottled water.

4.Then we put plastic wrap on the top of the cup and placed it by a window. (the cup was still in the bowl)

Did I do anything wrong? or should I be expecting it to sprout soon?

I would take it out of the bowl of water. Give it some time.

I dunno. Germinate a few more seeds as back up, some seeds just never take root...shit happens dude.

The more you futz with a newly germ'd seed, the more likely it is you will damage it. There is absolutely no need to prep seeds beforehand. They know exactly what they are doing.

Place your intended seed directly into your container, keep it moist and in less than a week, you will have a plant starting. No need to move it twice. It's redundant and easy to mess up. Don't make it difficult, it's literally a weed.

out.
