While soaking, the seeds should be covered with gelatin sheet, this is normal.

Put a few stones in the bottom of the cup to create drainage, after that fill the cup with moist soil. The seeds are put in the ground with pointed ends to the bottom, and leave about 5mm space between them.

After that, the seeds are covered with coarse sand or gravel.
