2. Soak The Seeds Before Planting
You might be familiar with soaking beans before you cook them, and if you want the plants to be successful and grow faster, you should soak the seeds before you plant them.
Put the seeds in water and let them soak for 30 minutes before you plant them. You can also place them between two wet paper towels and allow them to sit overnight. This softens the outer shell of the seed so the plants can break through more easily. It also makes it easier for the nutrients to soak into the plant, so it gets a good start from the beginning.
The plants should be swollen and full of water and ready to plant. You need to plant them immediately, or they will rot fast. If you are not able to plant the beans within 24 hours, do not soak them. Once planted, you will notice the beans germinate quickly and should see little sprouts in just a couple of days.
