Best after a couple a years, is putting seeds in vacuum sealed bags with silca gel packs(you know the the packs the come with new sneakers) to wick away any moisture Then put it in light-blocked airsealed container(Rubbermaid container taped up with gorilla tape)in the fridge....not the freezer. Then you're good to go. I actually need to get on this shit myself.

Also those little vials you have are what a lot of breeders use to put their seeds in to sell. You could throw a little rice in them with the seeds> then throw them in a vac sealed bag and into the fridge and you'd be good.

Thank you ! I meant to put them in those, and tags around them (dark), then put them in sort of a album. Is fridge a must ?

Yes

Also, bake your rice at the lowest setting in your oven for about 30 minutes. This will dry it out more and kill any potential contaminations on the rice.

Ya for longterm storage I'd say fridge is important

I always jump in these threads to say don’t be scared of the freezer.
