Here's my method.
Sow seeds on a mix of 80% perlite/ 20% moss peat.
Place in 1cm of water, in electric propagator with the lid propped open a little for ventilation.
Put brights lights over the propagator (eg, T5s)- giving maybe 14 hours a day light.
Temperature 20-25 degrees C.

The most important factor of all is having very fresh seeds.

Good luck!
