You can sprout them in a wet paper towels first also. That way you can weed out duds before potting. Just put seeds in paper towel inside a pint jar and keep towel wet but never let there be more than 1/8" standing water at the bottom. Put it in a dark place like the closet keep it 75-80 degrees f. Until they sprout. Once the white tap roots show. They are then ready to plant root down. Once the root shows don't let the dry out or they will die. Expose them to as little light and handling as possible. I have a jar in the closet now. Good luck.
