I accidentally placed the tissue paper with the muscicola seeds on a drop of water that I didn't see. Good thing was, the paper dried up quickly, and I made sure the wet seeds were sowed instead of stored. I didn't sow all of them because then I'd have too many muscicola plants.
Holes were poked at the bottom of this pringles container where a black acrylic yarn was threaded through. I put a layer of perlite at the bottom in case of any standing water that might cause rot. I mixed my potting mix of HP Pro Mix with equal parts of perlite for better drainage since I'm wick watering rather than manual watering. I sowed the extremely tiny seeds by pressing my finger on the pile of seeds to pick a few up, and rubbing my index finger and thumb to sprinkle the seeds over the soil evenly. There's no need to cover the seeds with a layer of soil since they're already very small. A plastic wrap was used for increased humidity.
And now, all we do is wait for the seeds to sprout :)
