Castelleja and Townsendia seed germination


Hi all,
	I sowed some Castelleja haydonii the end of January and put the pot in 
the fridge.  I just noticed about 7 seedlings that germinated( they don't look 
real well, they're just lying on the surface of the soil.  What I'd like to know 
is what do I do with them now?  I put the pot under my light at about 63 - 68 
degrees.  Is this correct?  Also I have Townsendia rothrockii just covered with 
vermiculite under the light.  Only 3 out of 25 have germinated.  Alplains says 
to cover 4xs diameter of the seed.  Do they need to be in darkness to better 
germinate?  If so, what temperature?  The Townsendia was sown Feb 2.

Thanks for any help you can give.
