Hi Jonna, I'm just wondering if you soaked the seeds for a few hours b-4 planting? Wilfred or some one gave great advice on removing that seed cover, as I recall he said to spray the seedling, wait a few minutes and spray it again, then I seem to recall using a tooth pick to very gently lift the covering. I remember a few of mine that I sort of put pressure on the soil while pulling off the seed cover. Well, anyway;don't give up. I'm sure you know how to get to carnage hall, right? Practice practice practice. It's the same with Adenium.
