I would say it is very necessary. I had Ubc chemo x romulan seeds that were stored in a desk drawer for 2 years. After those 2 years no seeds would sprout, of the 6 remaining from the original pack. I learned the hard way, but I learned.
So do you put the seeds directly into a bag of rice? My seeds come in these small platics bubble holder thing with a sticky label on the back. Could I just throw that in the bag of rice?
I would not put loose seeds in rice, but that's just me. You could certainly put the "plastic bubble holder thing" in the bag of rice. The rice is just another barrier between your seeds and water, a cheap insurance.
Lol, thanks. I didn't know what else to call the seed holder, haha.
No worries. Good luck with your seed storage.
I prefer to leave the seeds in the plastic bag they come then to the rice, plastic aint water proof
