How can I successfully germinate a nectarine seed?

To successfully germinate a nectarine seed, you can follow these steps:

1. Remove the seed from the nectarine fruit and clean off any remaining fruit flesh.
2. Place the seed in a damp paper towel or in a small container with moist soil.
3. Keep the seed in a warm and sunny location, ensuring it stays consistently moist but not waterlogged.
4. Wait for the seed to sprout, which can take several weeks to a few months.
5. Once the seed has sprouted, transplant it into a pot with well-draining soil and continue to care for it by providing adequate sunlight and water.
