Storage Guidelines for Chili Seeds

Storage Guidelines for Chili Seeds

1. Storage Instructions

General Storage: If you do not intend to sow the chili seeds purchased from us within one month, please adhere to the following storage instructions:

  • Transfer the chili seeds from the original plastic bag to a paper envelope, such as a coin envelope.
  • Store the envelope in a dry, dark location, such as a drawer.
  • If stored in a refrigerator, ensure that excess moisture is removed.
  • Do not freeze the seeds.

Labeling: Write the name of the chili variety and the date of storage on the envelope.

2. Storage Containers

Plastic/Glass Containers: If storing in a plastic or glass container, include an equal amount of a desiccant, such as Silica Gel (available from eBay) or uncooked rice.

Avoidance of Certain Conditions: Do not store the seeds in sunny locations, areas of high humidity, or near heat sources such as radiators.

3. Seed Longevity

Expected Duration: The seeds can remain viable for up to five years if stored in a dry, dark, and cool environment.

4. Seed Viability

Air Circulation: Chilli seeds are living organisms and require adequate air circulation. Storing seeds in a plastic bag with even minimal moisture can lead to mold growth and destroy the seeds.

5. General Note

We wish you a successful growing season and hope that you enjoy cultivating a variety of chilies with diverse flavors, colors, and unique shapes.

Please note that the cultivation of these seeds is not solely about heat.
