There are two things that a seed needs in order to germinate.
 Heat and Moisture.  
One way to provide this is with what I call a Germination Chamber.
 It is simply a framed box surrounded by plastic
with a small heat source.

                             
closed                                                                    open
What this does is contains and maintains a constant
 temperature of 80 degrees for the seed.
After only 3 to 4 days the first signs of
 growth will be observed.  Basically we are fooling
the seed into believing that it is time to grow.

Inside I use a simple space heater with a pan of
water on top for humidity.
But be careful if you decide to do this--
electricity and water do not mix!!!
