This is sorta how i do it, but at the start, i give them a water and hydrogen peroxide bath for 24 hours, just to soften the shells. Litterally just a splash of peroxide. Alsi to clean all germs that might come to start. I also put them in a wet paper towel and into a open ziplock bag in the closet dor 3 days, then plant as usual, but i also leave the bag over them, to help keep moisture. We should talk more, so i can pick your brain, as well as i might have ideals
