Do you guys remove the seed coat from the cotyledons or let them fall off naturally? I have two seedlings that are still hanging on to their seed case for dear life but didn't want to mess up the leaves. they seem a lot more fragile than pulling off a pumpkin seed coat....let me know thanks!

I have a habbit to take them off ? You dont need to but i cant help myself !!! I found the best way is to spray them down to soften them it may take 10 minutes to soften if they are still stiff you can wrap the seed coat with a tiny pice of tissue paper and then spray that wet ? Again wait at least 10-15 minutes to soften and them try pulling !! If it is still to hard then just keep it moist and the plant will eventually do it itself ?
