We germinated a watermelon plant from a seed in a watermelon using a damp paper towel and ziplock before we transplanted it in soil. This plant came out of the watermelon seed so it not a different plant than the one we planted. I haven’t seen watermelon plants with leaves like these before. Are these “baby leaves” or was there a second seed inside the watermelon seed that grew instead of the watermelon?

Tbh my first instinct says Citrus. But it needs to grow more leaves before I can say.
That doesn’t look like a watermelon sprout at all. Look up watermelon seeds and see if your seed matched?

Idk what it is but that’s not a watermelon. Look up “cotyledon” if you want examples on what baby leaves look like. Watermelon and her cousins are a very distinct family at the cotyledon stage. This one has already moved past cotyledon and it’s got “true leaves”.
Keep growing it! It might be cool!
