| I've never planted jatropha seeds before but I did plant a crinum lily from seed and it came up looking just like that. At first I thought I'd planted it wrong but it eventually shed the shell just fine. I think yours will do the same. |

| Yes, they 'throw' off the shells quite quickly. But, it doesn't 'hurt' them to remove them by hand.They are among the very easiest plants to grow! Both these and the Jatropha podagrica look like they sprouted upside down. In fact, so does a coffee plant! |
