Hello, gardening folks. Though I'd make use of this great source of information and get some advice, hopefully.
Gathered some cherry stones from a dwarf cherry tree mid-summer, cracked them open and put the seeds in the fridge wrapped inside a wet paper towel. Four weeks ago I planted six seeds in clear half-liter plastic cups (two in each). Planting medium was moist sphagnum moss and sand. Seeds were planted about 1,5-2 cm under the surface. Cups were placed in the warm kitchen next to a window and covered with cling film to retain humidity.
Four of them sprouted, and roots went to the bottom of the cups within a week. They poked through the surface and had a nice progression. However, after this, development just stopped. No more growth and all but one wilted and started rotting (see image). I still have one left, although it hasn't shown any development the past couple of weeks (see image).
I still have six more seeds in the fridge. What can I do differently to get better results on the second try? Also, what can I do to prevent the last one from dying?
