What is the best way to grow seedlings from pips?
I have always found the best way is to soak the seeds in water until they sprout. This may mean several changes of water until this happens. There is no point leaving seeds in water that has clouded and gone smelly as they would likely die if they tried to germinate in that. Some seeds will never sprout because they were not mature enough when taken from the fruit. Others come out of the fruit already sprouted. Some seeds in this picture have sprouted, but they are apple seeds. That’s another story!
