This is a tropical D. intermedia, seeds can be sown without cold stratification treatment. Small seedlings are sprouting around the mother plants, under direct morning sun, but I guess you should avoid direct sun in your case, just bright light, standard CP mix, high humidity & Singapore temperature.

Happy growing

I use standard mix: sphagnum peat moss /perlite 2:1, wet it with microwaved rainwater (distill water is fine). Fill mix into a transparent microwave container to about 2 cm layer, microwaves the mix at medium power (not at high power, if you don’t want to clean up) without lid for 2~4 minute (make sure it heat up well), cover lid and let it cool down. Drain off excess water so that the mix is just moist and not wet, sow seeds and cover lid, place container at a bright location and wait. When seeds sprout, remove lid gradually over a few days to harden the seedlings. Watering by misting, so as not to disturb the roots. Transplant when seedlings have 4~5 leaves.  

Microwave = sterile
Transparent microwave container = allows light.
With lid on = to keep high humidity, and no watering is required.

Happy growing

I think it will depend on their immediate environment. For my case, one month.
