Miracle fruit seed shipping question
« on: May 20, 2019, 05:26:39 PM »
Hey guys

Do Miracle Fruit seeds need to be kept moist when shipping? Or can they be shipped dry?

Thanks to anyone that might know.

"As the seed viability is short, plant the cleaned seed immediately just below the soil line When shipping cleaned seed for others to plant, package in a small plastic bag and enclose a slightly moistened toweling. Seed that are allowed to dry can be shipped for at least two weeks but rapidly loose their viability. "

Cleaned Miracle fruit seeds remain viable for almost two months, if packed in moist vermiculite. Never pack seeds in moist towel, as it is a sure medium for mold to grow.
