adenium obesum failure?

I planted five a. obesum seeds in one of those plastic 'greenhouse' starters with the pelletized peat disks. It was situated in a room where the ambient temp was between 72-80 at all times. The greenhouse was set away from direct sun light.

Only one showed any activity. There was a green shoot that was curled up within the seed casing. Then, things seemed to stop.

Two days after I noticed the shoot, I put it in a sunny location and took the lid off. Still, no further activity.

On top of all that, I accidentally knocked the little guy off it's peat bed. I put it back but, I'm fearing the worst.

What did I do wrong? What should i do differently in the future (I'm determined to grow a desert rose from seed.)

Why is it my 7 yr old and put some radish seeds on a wet paper towel, cram it in a ziplock and leave it under her bed for a few weeks and they survive, but I have no success doing it my way?
