I know this is a bit stupid, but its worth a shot. I bought some overpriced seeds to grow tea leaves. Came to over £2 for 2 seeds. My boyfriend was keen to grow it. When it arrived one of the seeds was squashed. I've complained and they are sending a replacement, but of course I want to see if I can rescue the squashed one. It's basically the size of a big pea and the brown outer shell has smashed, the white bit in the middle looked a bit squished. Yesterday I put it in a bowl wrapped in a tissue and some still warm water from the kettle. It's now swollen up and looking healthier.
Now is it worth continuining and if so what do I do next. Should I plant out in seed compost or just leave it in the tissue and see what happens? Has anyone attempted this before? Should I make it a new protective cover from paper tissue? Put a plaster on it?
As the seeds take 3 years before you can use the leaves, I've told him I'll get him a plant for valentines day,.
