@HomelyWoreya Hello and welcome to Greg!

2-6 weeks
Germination usually takes at least a couple of weeks, but can take up to a couple of months. Different species show varying germination times. Generally sprouts in 2-6 weeks. Will take much longer if soil temperature is cool.

One easy way to make seeds germinate faster is to presoak them for 24 hours in a shallow container filled with hot tap water. Water will penetrate the seed coat and cause the embryos inside to plump up. Don't soak them for longer than 24 hours because they could rot. Plant the seeds immediately in moist soil.
@TwistedThreads Thank you so much!
