Default Re: kianliang87: How long can we keep Drosera seeds? (Read 230 times)

It doesn't matter too much really, it's just that mold likes stagnant, moist conditions, so if there is enough moisture in the container for a long time, it can condense a little and mold can develope over time. That's why I just like to leave my seeds in a paper envelope in the fridge, so there won't be any water condensing and moisture getting onto the seeds. (And drosera seeds don't usually have to be stratified)

Now having a sealed container might be a good thing if there wasn't any chance moisture would be in there. For example, ig you used silica gel packets in a sealed container with the seeds, you could have the seeds last for a longer time maybe, since then there would be very little moisture within the container.
