why don't you sprout?

Hi my red rocoto seeds are really slow to germinate. It's been 20 days since I left them on a wet tissue in the germbox and none of them has sprouted...

What do you suggest me to do? Temperatures of the germbox are always between 85 and 95° F. Many other varieties have sprouted without any problem.
 
I would wait about 20 more days then you may need to get an alternate source of seeds. Sometimes you just get a bad batch:(
