Latest Japanese research seems to prove that delphs germinate best at 55
degress F.  You will get lower germination if the top of the fridge raises
the temperature.  It would be better to place them on a slightly moist
paper towel in a ziplock bag, in darkness at 55-65. ( Basement floor and
wrapped in aluminum foil?)  Then just take them off the towel in about
ten day when the seeds germinate and the sprout is about one quarter
inch long.  Place in sterile soil mix in individual pots, sprout down/seed
up, the hull of the seed will fall off in a few days.
