soil vs sphagnum

If you're given some seeds, what will you do? I think most people will just toss them on soil and wait for them to germinate.

You might not do so anymore after reading this. :)

These are the Carissa carandas seeds germinated in pot with soil.  

Whereas these are the germinated C. carandas seeds in plastic pot stuffed with sphagnum.

The results are very obvious isn't it? 
Fyi, this test was carried out accidentally and total unplanned. ^^ 
I got too much of the seeds so i put the extra seeds in the plastic pot with sphagnum instead of soil as I don't have any pot with soil left. They were all germinated on the same day (23 June 2011) and these pictures were taken after 11 days.

When they grow bigger i still need to transfer them into soil. Can't wait to see them growing and produce hot pink fruits.  *(^.^)*
