Susan,
The cold climate folks will have to help you with the heating pad, etc ideas.
But one word of caution: A number of Aroids in the germination process (especially
Anthurium) will exhibit a white fungus growth around the seeds, as a normal
part of the process. So before tossing out those seeds get out the old magnifying
glass to be certain you are not throwing out good stuff.

with plastic, or what? Mine seem to either dry up, or get mossy. Nothing ever
sprouts. I hate to admit my ignorance, but I guess I need help!
