Unless you can maintain high levels of light with temperature(air) around 70F. with high humidity levels they will die if the soil gets too moist! Your best bet would be a seed propagation (heat) mat ,in front of a southeast facing window and (place somewhere warm at night and on cloudy cold days) , wait till roots start growing out of the bottom of the 1''pots, and then pot up to a 2-3 '' pot. The most important thing to remember to me; is, if they are not growing they are dying (unless they are dormant!) By the middle of March be careful with the sun amounts, as even inside when the sun climbs high in the sky, they can get burnt inside.

Kay Jones won't steer you wrong!

I have a humidifier that is on 24/7. Along with a 400 watt H.P.S. lamp with this window in one of my upstairs bathrooms! I do not have to water that much as the humidifier keeps the moisture on the leaves!

Give me a shout if you have any other questions. Gardening advice is like gardening soil; Everyones is a little different; doesn't mean they are wrong!
