I’ve had good success with just a little water in a bottle cap on my windowsill.

I’ve grown mine in spagnum moss in a little seedling starter box. It has a clear top and it’s under a grow light ~14 hours a day. It took about 2 months but I have 4 with one leaf and others have roots. Good luck!

Do you have one of the seed starter trays that came with a grow light, or just have a separate grow light over the tray?

Separate grow light. The seed starter was from a larger group of them for veggie seeds 😀
