Ask-a-Dave's-Gardener: How can I start cyclamen from seed indoors?, 1 by Pistil

My thought about putting them outside is that you still have Spring-like conditions right now in Raleigh, although only for maybe another week or so! Anyway, it still gets quite chilly at night, and the soil would not yet have warmed up a lot, so even though it is now sometimes above 70 during the day, if the seeds were in the shade they would be experiencing approximately 60 degrees. Just an idea. I just looked on Weather Underground, today in Raleigh max 58, min 36, by next Saturday high 70, low 44. That seems about correct.
Generally when instructions say something like \"germinate at 70 degrees\", or \"germinates in 7 days at 60 degrees\" they are speaking to an audience of commercial growers with a greenhouse, and indeed it might be optimal. But of course most plants did not evolve in a greenhouse (Florist Cyclamens kinda did, however), and I suspect one that does well at 60 degrees would do well outside right now in Raleigh, in the shade.
Anyway I hope our thread-starter will let us know what happens with the seeds. My idea is all theoretical, I have never started these from seed, or even grown them.
Here is a patch if C. hederifolium I have, I get volunteers in the garden.
