Is it ok / beneficial to store tropical seeds in a fridge?
« on: March 24, 2021, 02:52:05 AM »
Fridge not freezer.
Long story short I have a a ton of seeds - most entirely orthodox / non-recalcitrant seeds and many need stratification.
I think a mini fridge would be a good idea to invest in to store them (basically off this and other things ive read https://empressofdirt.net/seed-storage-options/)

Does storing tropicals in a fridge tend to extend their 'shelf life' or further damage them? Or is it just a toss up between recalcitrant species

Depends on which seeds and what temperature. Ilama and atemoya would go just fine I am sure but durian, mangosteen, tampoi and langsat maybe not so well.
