I can't figure out if it is a he or she...lol.

Donna it might be a good idea with his roots starting to grow to gently try to move more of the shell as if it waits too long it will mess up the first leaves. also if you still want to watch him put him just on the soil with just the root side down

i have done the coffee filter method with mgs and the roots get so tangled in the filter you have to plant the filter too.

and in my opinion i think the plant is starting to take on color so it needs really to be out the shell.

good luck with him.

Thanks! I was planning to plant him (so you think it is a him) tonight.
