Hi Chrissy, and everyone.

Chrissy, I'm not at all familiar with your climate. But from my own perspective here in our zone. Brugs enjoyed the cool outdoor late in the season. Thus they're the last to be moved indoor in late Oct. here.

Those that I grew outdoor (in the ground, and cut back every year), they typically only flower from July-Fall until 1st frost (then that when we cut them down).

For those that overwinter indoor (for the 1st time this year) -- they're blooming continually, sporadically, but not yielding heavy flushes like they were outdoor during the growing season. As you can see, those made seedpod and kept on blooming...

As far as seed germination and light I believe they're all essentials. The dome is being created to provide extra humidity to aid the young sprouts, but need to be air-vented every so often to prevent stagnated environment where it would promote fungal/molds growth.

For a small scale, hobby seed sprouting. I've this tree's seed that germinated last Jan. indoor, being by a kitchen sink where it benefited humidity from the faucet usage below, it did just fine. I hope that answer your question?
