Adenium seedlings - first time planting

I am going to attempt to do an online diary as I have not grown Adenium before.

8th Jan - Planted 5 x Adenium `Sunday' seeds and 5 x Adenium `Honey' seeds in a 50/50 cactus compost/perlite and topped with vermiculite. Housed in a window propagator placed on top of a radiator.
9th Jan - No sign of life yet.
10th Jan - 2 seedlings started to appear (1 x `Honey' back right and 1 x `Sunday' front left).
11th Jan - noticed the seed pods were still attached to the seedlings so I attempted to remove them using tweezers. As I took the first one off, it brought the leaves with it so I left the second seed pod on the seedling to see if it would fall off naturally.
12th Jan - another seedling has appeared. The seed pod on the first `Honey' seedling felt softer today so I have successfully removed it this morning at 10am. Noticed another `Sunday' seedling coming through. I have just checked on the seedlings at 1pm and noticed the leaves on the first `Sunday' are already starting to open.

I am amazed at the phenomenal speed these plants grow.
There is a photo here which is a little dark. I'll attempt to take brighter photo tomorrow.
