Hot pepper seeds can be stored for a long time if handled and stored correctly.
Store the seeds in a cool, dark place. An ideal temperature is around 5 to 10 degrees Celsius. A cellar or refrigerator are good options.
Place the dry pepper seeds in an airtight container, such as a glass jar or a sealed plastic bag. Ensure that as little air as possible comes into contact with the seeds because humidity and oxygen can reduce germination capacity.
