First you lay them out on a piece of newspaper until they’re dry. They you score the outside of the beans with a knife (just ruff up the outside a bit). Then you put them on a wet paper towel and cover them with another wet paper towel. You keep them wet and warm until they sprout (about 2 to 3 weeks). Once they sprout you can plant them in moist potting soil and put them in a light but not bright location. Once they start growing they need a lot of water – like every day. They’re a beautiful plant.
