Have Patience
As others have already said. These plants take a while to germinate. From my experience, it took about 20 days for the seed covering to open and for a root to appear. Right after that, a small tuber(rhizome) appeared and on day 30 a small needle came up over the soil. Currently the plant is approx 1 inch tall. Just a single green needle.edit 08/17/2020 - I have 2 growing plants...been growing them under L.E.D. light..starting gain size, 4-5 branches about 4-5 inches long...doing well.edit: 5/28/2021 - I have added a photo of the 2 I'm growing03/09/2021 - Still growing. Slowly because they are indoors. About 10 inches long and a bit sparse, but healthy.
