storing seeds

Hi everyone,

What is the best way to store seeds if you don't plan on planting them soon?

Does the seed loses quality when time passes by or can be maintained?

Thanks

I'm also interested in this. I heard it was best to store in a dark location in an air tight container. If storing for long fridge them. This is all second hand information so please correct me if my information is wrong.

I keep mine in the fridge with those aspirin bottle desiccants in them.
I use a dark plastic container with a screw down lid.
I'm only an active member though, better check with a higher status individual.

As long as the area your storing is dark, cool, and has a relatively low humidity, its perfect! I've had seeds left in dresser drawers for years sprout roots no problem when I went to germinate.

I'd like that, but I can't find the like button again.
O well, it had me at a handful of likes and if my memory serves me correctly, I had over 600 likes and only 700 posts, so I don't think it would have counted yours anyways.

Plastic containers in a brown box in a closet. Have seeds 5+ years old, still no problems with germination.

thank you,

I currently have my seeds in a dark dry place, temperature is low-high. I'm I risking my seeds or doing fine. If they are at risk what adjustment should I do.

had 16 seeds in a 35mm film case for 10 years on a shelf in the living room, they all sprouted. as long as theyre dry, and free from humidity theyl be fine.
