I tend to agree with ecrane3, like these seedlings of plumerias for instance. The casing sometimes, hang on for an extended time (due to its slow growth). But likes Castor beans, they grow so rapidly, with natural rain and moisture, the casing will eventually fall off. I'll have to refrain myself from spriting this type of seedlings, since plumeria won't tolerate high humidity. It could invite rust problem when being misted.

In this picture, you can see the seedling's casing on the left corner. I just wait for it to outgrow its casing naturally. Others seedlings had without intervention.
