Seeds require warm, moist growing mediums. Most seeds tell you the required germination temperatures on the package. By following the temperature requirements you will get the fastest starts. You will be able to maintain these temperatures with a propagation heating mat. (It is not recommended to use one of those heating pads that help your aching muscles, because they can become too hot and can also be a fire hazard if they become wet).
