Mr_R_IL I started with a paper towel and two ceramic plates. I successfully germinated two out of four seeds, with a 4-day difference in sprouting time. I kept them at room temperature (22-25°C).
After the seeds sprouted, I transferred them to plastic cups with holes in the bottom. I water them about three to four times a day.
P.S. An important detail:
For the first few days, my setup was not fully ready, so I used a generic LED lamp (about 10W) for the first sprout. Because of the weak light, it grew long and thin (etiolated). I buried most of its stem under the coco coir when transplanting. This technique helps the plant develop more roots and should make it extremely stable and strong, better able to support weight—at least, science says so. For the second sprout, I am going to transplant it normally without burying the stem, as a small experiment to compare the differences.

Mr_R_IL for now watering them with tap water, waiting for the second sprouted seed to show his face on the surface,
until the second plant grows a little bit he will be closed with a plastic cp from the top to make the humidity higher inside.
the first plants looks like he likes the adaptation from the generic 10w led lamp to the 150w lm301h.
the white towel sits inside a jar with water to keep soaking it to pump up the humidity, the AC is running a lot at home which dries out the air - so i needed a solution.
the first plant was about 8-10 cm height! i burrried about half of its stem which was almost white.
