seeds-germination Seeds from dried chilis

[Armadillo]

Who can tell me if seeds taken out of dried chilis have a chance to germinate? And if they have: how's the ratio?

I've bought dried chilies from the store add had them germinate 100%. it doesn't hurt to try. It depends how they dry i suppose and how healthy they seeds were from the start.

All the seeds I sell are from dried chilli pods and the ratios are high. Other dried chilli pods from the shops etc are usually good as well. Like Fine says it depends how they dry them.

Ive been drying my pods/seeds for a couple yrs now.This year was 13 for 13 with germination.

As mentioned, it depends on how they were dried. The temperature is the key. Chilis dried in the sun will most likely give you good seeds. If a dehydrator was used, it depends on the temperature.

I'd test them before you start your seedlings so you can be sure and are able to get new seeds in case they won't germinate.
