Seems my honeydew "angpow" pack had been left in the drawer for a little bit too long. When i checked, the sprouts already measured about 3 inch. That's how easy it is to sprout honeydew seeds in paper towel, all the seeds made it through, and i guess 3-4 days should be enough next time.
The baby honeydews closely resemble bean-sprouts, looked really fragile. I had to carefully transplant them as some already showing leaves and growing very fine roots, that i just tear off the paper towel and bury them altogether under the soil. I don't even know if this is the right way doing it!
After five days i've got a full tray of healthy honeydew seedlings. Light spray and watering from bottom seem to work (i had the soil at the center like an island on a tray, so just pour water from the sides).
Honeydew cheers! :)
