It’s hard to tell from the picture but I’ve personally planted many wrong side up and they always seem to figure themselves out and grow. It may take slightly longer but should be fine.

Thank you! Hope he makes it :)

Hope this a bit clearer. The pointier end is facing upwards.

I recent watched a video that said sideways was the best way, I haven’t tried it yet

I do mine sideways putting them make sure it stays covered to keep humidity in. Good luck!

Controversial opinion…… there is no right side up 🙊
