4 and a half months? They can certainly be a bit slow sometimes. There should be some nice plants in that pot when they get larger!

I have mine in a small pot, in an inch of water. It's sitting on a heat mat in my window. How are you keeping yours?

Why the inch of water? Long sphagnum as filler 1" of finely chopped sphagnum in a dome under lights for my LL (27-30c) for my HL it's in my system I just started to add Saran Wrap to it in hopes to boost humidity.

I'm not home often enough to keep the media wet so the tray of water helps. I'll stop doing this when the seedlings emerge.
I'm using the same media as you, filler LFS with chopped spagnum on top. Theres a plastic dome over the pot to keep humidity in.
i hope they sprout soon!

I kinda want to see your current setup you have for seeds.

This is the only pic that I have on my phone at the moment. The seeds are in the small pot on the bottom left, the pot with the plastic cover on it.

Checking the LFS before adding more water and doing so as often as you can would help you to know how often you need to add water. Over watering brings host to mold and algae. damp but humid lessens Algae growth spraying or adding spring tails helps control mold.
