moist packing seeds

a while ago I made a request to see if anyone had aroid seeds - the common response was that the seeds lose their viability to quickly -If I could find the tubers here in this country (Canada) I would buy them - Can Someone explain to me why these seed cannot be moist packed in vermiculite or pearlite as soon as they are collected - Gardens North is a nursery here in Canada that sells a lot of spring ephemerals and other seeds that lose their viability quickly including aroids - they moist pack them as soon as they are collected and difficult seeds remain viable for months - so why won't this work for seeds like alocasias and colocasia seeds.

cheers

Jeff
