Peyote seeds too - although they're probably the same.. ?

I kept my trichocereus seeds for a couple of months before germinating and got a decent germination rate. Although it wasn't as great as my peyote germination rate, probably because I planted those as soon as I got them

I had some leftover T. terscheckii seeds sit around for 2 years in room temps, then 1 year in a cool garage, sowed them recently and nearly all have germinated within 2 weeks. Some T. bridgesii seeds kept in the same conditions haven't germinated quite as vigorously but still >50%.
Keeping them in the fridge is good.

Keeping them in the fridge is very good.

Really it depends on the source of the seed. A lot of the seed traded especially by non-specialty vendors seems to be quite old. Some specialty vendors give dates which should be standard IMO. It's like buying coffee with a roast date. I won't buy coffee from a company which doesn't label roast dates.

Fresh seed is best. I get nearly 100% germination on any seed from the past year or two for those types of cacti when packets are stored at room temperature. I know people who have had great germination rates from 5+ year old seed when it was stored in the fridge.
