Rhodophiala seedlings

I received some "seedex" in the UK this year labelled Rhodophiala aff bagnoldii F&W 7443. Online, Cotwold Garden Flowers lists R. aff bagnoldii separately from R. sp nov F&W 7443 so some confusion and apparently the seedex donation came from more than one source.
It has germinated this week and the initial shoots are mainly red with a straw coloured base, (no green!) so I guess may end up as pink flowers, but what temperatures would suit them best now. They have germinated under 6C minimum, so are often below 10C at present and get little direct sunlight. Would they benefit from higher temperatures or light levels now or leave as they are until it warms up in spring, say a month or so?
