Well,-- I've got several propagators but most of my seeds get started on the kitchen windowsill and I often use cling film to cover the container for the first few days.

I usually soak Freesia seeds overnight as they're very hard & ideally they need 50-60 degrees to germinate and ought to germinate in 14 - 21 days.
