You probably planted it to deep. My sprouts are normally well above soil level under the same 24h as planting the sprouts.

The seed hull/cotyledons should be above soil level after you've planted the sprout in soil.

Do the "dreaded" paper towel method if you wish to better monitor the process. I've always done it that way, sometime I've even cracked open hard to sprout seeds between my teeths just to open the seed hull. I do this on seeds that haven't sprouted in a couple of days

Most sprout in a couple of days after you cracked the shell. This sort of issues is very common with old seed stock and I still have a lot of them.

That's why I do the paper towel method, sometimes the seed is to old to even break the seed hull from my experience.
