    Judging by my experience with them in Florida I'd say
    no light is required. So cover them with at least a 1/4 inch
    of potting mix. The extra heat will speed germination and
    they should have a covered container to maintain humidity
    especially if near a heating duct.

    I really can't say as I never grew them. Like the other poster
    said I haven't run across any palm yet that requires light to
    germinate.
