Mailing P. alba seeds?
« on: September 10, 2017, 06:49:14 PM »
Could anyone tell me how I would prepare some fresh seeds to mail out? Should I let them dry a bit after removing the fleshy part? How long do these stay viable for? Any help will be greatly appreciated :)

Yes let them dry till they're not sticky and then you can package them up to go.


@Pinktarantula  Other than Peres any fast growing colomnure cacti would work fine. Pilocereus is a good call in the U.S. because you can pick them up at any Bigbox store in summer, Blue Myrtle is a good one too ;)

They stay viable for a long time, but drying them out seems to shorten their viability. They can be mailed in some damp sphagnum or even still in the berries, which is how I often ship viridis seeds.
