Pomegranate seeds was created by New.to.bonsai

I have planted about 20 pomegranate seeds straight from the fruit as I saw this done on? a youtube video woth excellent results. I have since seen articlez online that say I should clean the pulp from the seeds and let them harden for a couple of days before planting.
Has anyone had experience on this topic to advise me. They were planted yesterday so it's not too late to dig them out and change my approach.
Thanks for reading

You should be fine leaving them as they are. Many people successfully germinate pomegranate seeds straight from fresh fruit without cleaning or drying them first. Removing the pulp can help reduce the risk of mold and may improve germination rates slightly, but it's not strictly necessary. Since you only planted them yesterday, digging them up could cause more disturbance than benefit. I'd leave them in place, keep the soil lightly moist, and see how they do. Good luck with your seedlings!
