I just finished producing amaryllis seeds and i want to store them, how long before they will dissintegrate and is it safe to store them in a plastic baggy?
Amaryllis seed dissintegration?
Plastic bags are poor storage for just about all seeds. Paper envelopes are better, and cool, dry storage. My experience is amaryllis will store for at least a couple of years at 50oF, 50% relative humidity.
Let me amend these remarks... are you talking about the genus Amaryllis (which I was thinking of) or Hippeastrum, the common "amaryllis" seen as bulbs in lots of stores about now? Hippeastrum seeds are fairly short lived, even with good storage. Plant soon after harvest.
Reply:Store them a short time in paper not plastic. They don't disintegrate but they lose viability quickly. RScott
