They have been in a properly warm, wet, and humid environment for about two weeks, with only one seed being disturbed to prevent an encroaching mold from capturing it. None of my seeds have sprouted yet, but I am not sure if I should be concerned yet.

Thankfully, I found its source. Believe it or not the "master mold" was hiding under a sticker near the bottom of the pot. No more can th
