I used to get these seed things out of cereal boxes when I was a kid.
It was like a little plastic terarium(sp?).  It had a fine sponge in the
bottom that you soaked with water, and laid the seeds on.  So either the
sponge or the enclosed terarium effect did the trick.  Hey I don't know,
but mabye its worth a try.
