Gardenia I the seeds are pretty easy to grow. I did notice one thing that stuck out in your comment and that is fertilizer. Many people over fertilize way to much. Seedlings should rarely if ever be fertilized. The new roots will burn if given fertilizer leading to rot. This usually kills or stunts the plants growth. I start my seeds in trays placing them in a humid greenhouse in winter they get bottom heat. Any sort of humidity dome will help but you should be sure they are not to hot and not to cold. I try to keep them between 60f and 90f. Once they produce 3 to 5 leaves the lids are removed for air flow.

Here is a picture of seedlings being grown out.
