You could try in a windowsill during the day (uncovered) and back on the propagator, at night. They need sun and fresh air to prevent mold and damping off. I use a heating mat on shelves in a window, and after they are up, they get moved up a shelf and uncovered (except at night when the cats move in to the warmth, so I use a clear plastic box with a lid which stays on all night, otherwise they sleep on top of the plants - lumpy, but warm).
