How do you open a mahogany seed?

To open a mahogany seed, you can start by soaking the seeds in water for 24 hours to soften their hard outer shell. After soaking, use a file or sandpaper to gently scuff the surface of the seed coat, which helps promote germination. Finally, plant the seeds in a well-draining potting mix and keep them in a warm, humid environment until they sprout.
