Seeds affected by damp?

15 years ago

Hi everyone,

I just ordered a whole bunch of conophytum and lithops seeds from conos-paradise.

I found out some of the seeds are stuck/glued together or stuck on the paper bag. Does this mean the seeds are not dried completely before they got into the bag? Are they still good? What can I do now to save them?

thanks for any advise.

Hi,
Seeds being stuck together doesn't mean they are bad. My tomato seeds often stick together or to the paper they are drying on and they are fine.
I'm betting they have a gelatanous substance around the seeds before drying like when I have taken seeds out of my prickly pear cactus.
