Hello! I have been googling around and haven't found an answer to my question. This is about amaryllis seeds sprouted in water.

I have been sprouting some amaryllis seeds in water this summer. They are by a window and get sunlight through the window all day. They have all sprouted and are about 1 - 1.5 inches long. I checked on them today, and noticed some white fuzz had started growing on one of the seed shells (the brown part) that was floating on top. I scooped that one out of the water (but accidentally submerged it in the process) and scooped out any other loose shells. I was going to plant the sprouts this week.

THE QUESTIONS: Since my amaryllis sprouts have now been exposed to mold, what should I do? Do I put the container outside in direct sunlight to kill off the mold that might still be in there? Do I drain the water, rinse them, and put them in fresh water? Do I sprinkle some cinnamon in the water?? I have no clue what to do. I just want to make sure when they're planted, they don't die by being overtaken by mold Sad
