I have some seed started too. The ones that I floated started sending down visible roots at about day 11. As the roots reach about 5/8" or more in length, I have been moving them to potting soil.

The ones I have moved to potting soil are raising up off the surface as if the section of root between the soil and the seed is lengthening. They are up on stilts a little bit. Did I do something wrong?

At the same time that I floated one pod of seed, I placed another pod of seed on top of soggy wet potting soil. At 15 days those had swollen, but had not put out any visible roots, so I moved them to the float dish in the hope they would root there. I will go to Wibbly's washed sand on my next trial.
Maybe it takes a long time to grow, but remember that if nobody plants it, nobody has it.
