New cacao seeds

We recently shared some fresh cacao fruit with family and kept the remaining seeds.  They were partially refrigerated for a week or more, so I hope they're still viable, but here goes!  First, we removed the skins and fruit from most of them, with our kids helping.  Some we left on, because pulling off skins forever...

If all goes well, we'll see them grow longer taproots later this week.  Until then, we'll need to change the water daily, or more often for the seeds with skins still on them.

Here is the page we use for instructions, from the same place we buy our pods:
