D. capensis germination

I recently drizzled some D. capensis seeds onto some nice wet peat.  How long do I have until I see germination of the seeds?  I also didn't realize how tricky it would be to get just a few seeds down.  Before I knew it, I had about 100 seeds scattered about the pot (table, floor, pants...)  Any tips to encourage germination?

Keep them warm and in a sealed ziplock if possible. Typical germination should happen within 2 weeks to 2 months depending on your conditions and the freshness of the seed.
 
If you have them in a pot, try using a clear plastic cover (i.e. from a take out container) but make sure it's a good fit for the pot. If you don't have a clear plastic cover that's the right size, use saran wrap.

Water from the top if you did not know that. Then once they germinate you can use the tray.
