You don't have to sow all your flower seeds at once, you can easily store them for several years if you use the correct storage methods.
Here are my 5 tips for storing your seeds:
-
Store dry: Make sure the flower seeds are completely dry before storing them. Moisture can cause mold, so store them in a dry, ventilated area.
-
Airtight containers: Use airtight containers to store flower seeds. This helps to protect them from air and moisture, which helps to maintain their germination potential. A glass jar or store your seed packets in this handy storage box
-
Cool storage: Store the seeds in a cool place, preferably in a cool (dry) cellar or unheated room. This helps to extend the life of the seeds and maintain their vitality. So don't leave seed packets lying around in your greenhouse.
-
Labeling: Label your own seeds with the name of the flower species and write the date of storage on it. This prevents confusion and helps you keep track of the freshness of the seeds.
-
Regular check: Check stored seeds occasionally for signs of mold or decay. If you notice anything suspicious, remove the affected seeds to save the rest.
