Default Re: Floating seed

Sometimes they float because they are rotted inside and have a large cavity of air, but sometimes they float just because there are small pockets of air caught inside and are very dry. Although this is definitely a sign that they are not fresh, it is still possible that they will germinate. Let them soak for a couple days and then plant them.
