I started my seeds a couple of days ago, soaking them, then putting them in moist paper towel. However the paper towel was not in a bag and dryed out a little (still moist but barely) I thus added more water and put them in bags. Is there still a chance they will sprout, or did i kill them?

I would think they still should be perfectly fine...but only if they had not sprouted yet, for if the plant is already growing and lacks water, it will of course die. On the other hand, not giving a seed water, shouldn't kill it. Anyways, I could be completely wrong, and in that case: I wish you the best of luck!

They need a little heat. Too much will cook them, but somewhere around 80 degrees F usually does it.

I had an 869.5 Calai dry out in a peat pot before and it germinated after I replanted it.
