Do you soak the seed before you put in the soil? I live in the Southern California, the weather never get too cold, right now the daily temp is between 55F to 75F(12C at night and 23C day time) so I am thinking grow the seed in house. By the way, I am not sure whether I got winter dorm Paramongaia or summer Paramongaia, will find out later.

I am living in the Netherlands. The temp in the green house was 22 Celcius at day and 20 Celcius at night. The soil was good drained and I put a plastic bag over the pot. Make the soil once moisty and than the plastic bag over the pot. When the seeds are germinating, the seedlings have two leaves, take the plastic bag away. But still little bit watering the seedlings, I did spray them every day. Not in the full sun. Paramongaia seedlings are growing very, very slowly, I have now 5 seedlings about 3 years old, the bulbs are only a half cm.
