did the seed itself come out or did it sprout with its shell on...

did you plant the thing deep enough.. what are you using, those cups people pee in or something.. its either you must have a small ass cup, you must not have planted it deep enough, or you pour so much water into it, the thing floated to the top to breathe, since you almost drowned it..ha, i can't tell... what are you trying to say

leave the seed alone for now, since you replanted it deep enough this time... when its time to transplant, add the perlite...

thats what perlite is for... it helps give the roots air.. but what i do i gently squeeze the sides of the cup or container to soften the soil a bit...
