Can they grow fully in a pot if I don't want to transplant?

You could, but you would need a large pot to manage the growth of such a large plant.

Question

When should I plant them outside? When they are sprouts or when they are a plant?

Community Answer

When they are a plant because the sprouts are very tender and delicate. The plants are stronger.

Question

How much water do I need to put into the chickpeas?

Community Answer

Fill up the bowl until the water is slightly above the chickpeas. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let them sit overnight. Peel them and cook with spices and cilantro. I recommend turmeric, sweet paprika, olive oil, cilantro, salt, and white pepper.

Question

Can I plant store bought dried chickpeas?

Community Answer

Yes, this may be possible if the chickpeas have not been treated and are fairly new. Buy organic dried chickpeas from the organic food store for the best results.

Question

If I am growing it and go out for a vacation, will it still grow?

Community Answer

It cannot grow unless there is a regular water supply. You can give it to someone nearby (like your neighbor) to water it regularly. If you are taking it with you on the vacation, you must be very careful as it is very fragile and may get damaged if any pressure is put on it. Also, you must be careful about the root system.

Question

Which side down do I plant the chickpea?

Community Answer

There's a small pointed part on the chickpea, that's the part which should be planted downwards.
