I'm sure there is another thread asking this very question but along with many other things today I can't find it. I made my first cross this summer ( Rock Solid X Jamacian Me Crazy) and clearly I stored them wrong as they have started sprouting already and have had to be potted up and put under lights. I stored the seed, after they had dried for a few days, in plastic baggies that I had put some slightly damp vermiculite in with them because they looked really shrivelled up and I didn't know if I had dried them too much. Needless to say they absorbed the tiny bit of water in the vermiculite swelled and sprouted. Had I not looked at them yesterday for no real reason I would have lost them all. So my questions are:
1- Just how much shrivelling up can the seeds handle without dying?
2- Do the seeds need anything in the bag with them or should they be completely dry & without any media?
3- How long will seeds properly dried and stored remain viable and is it possible to freeze them like true lily seeds can to extend viability?
Any help will certainly be appreciated!
