In which position will the seed germinate in the soil ?

[DonPilin]

Hello g day. Does it go horizontally or vertically?if vertically, which one goes up and which one goes down?thanks

The seedling will grow towards the top of pot and roots down
Does not matter on seed placement.

• Short answer: Seeds can sense gravity and position themselves in accordance with it. This behavior is dictated by a physical phenomenon called gravitropism, wherein the growth of a plant is governed by the force of gravity acting on it. Roots grow in the direction of the gravitational pull, whereas stems grow in the opposite direction.

Good page to read about why

or you can germinate your seeds in a damp paper towel and when they sprout they can be transplanted with tap root going down

When I have older seeds, or fungal contamination issues, I chemically scarify with household H2O2. Very simple protocol that has worked well for me at commercial scale.
