I had the following setup for germination - I followed the seed supplier's instructions for germination:
48 hrs soak then sowed 1/4" deep in seed compost.
I placed the seed trays on my heated propagator base on a timer to give 9 hrs @ 30-35°C and 15 hours at 12-15°C (or as cool as the room got).

Interestingly this lil' guy popped up while we were having a hot spell so minimum temp never really dropped much below 20°C - I'm wondering about trying leaving the propagator on to see if any of the other seeds will make a show?
