Glenn got herself some soil and filled half the pot up. Just like the instructions said. It also said to let it rest for a couple of minutes. She took her eyes of her pot and watched the others going about their business, some were further ahead than herself and others were just starting.
She tapped her foot and watched the pot. Deciding it had been long enough, she crossed off the next instruction and moved on. Quote:
1. Charm pot to heat itself.
2. Fill half of pot up with soil and let it rest for several minutes to warm up.
3. Carefully take a single fire seed with dragon hide gloves and place on top of the soil.
4. Cover fire seed with soil, so that pot is filled. Pat the soil down a little (not too much, you don't want to suffocate it).
5. Water the fire seed with boiling water, without drowning it.
For boiling water, add water (via aguamenti) to the watering can and heat it. This will ensure you 1. control the temperature and 2. don't over water your seed. Use a VERY small amount, simply enough to moisten the soil.
