If this is not possible, then you can take an ordinary garden one, adding peat and sand, disinfect it with potassium permanganate. Seeds are spread at a distance of 2 centimeters from each other, and they are buried at the same distance. The container is covered with foil.
The room should be warm 20-23 degrees. After the emergence of seedlings, the temperature is reduced to +16. The temperature should be controlled, otherwise the seedlings will stretch out, which will create problems during planting. Saplings must be hardened.
