Bomarea seeds

Very simple - I've just harvested the first seeds on my Bomarea edulis. How do I store them? At the moment they're sat on some paper towel in the kitchen still as red berries.
Thanks in advance..................

In my experience, in a paper bag uncleaned then soaked and washed just prior to sowing in spring works fine. You can also sow now if you like.

Thanks!
The first pod gave up twelve seeds, so I'll sow half now. I need to cover my ass as you guys encouraged me to plant mine out :lol: Totally different plant in the ground though!

I keep mine in a cool kitchen cupboard.

Well its early days, no sign of the pods changing colour or splitting here, still got flowers on! We have been wanting to put the for sale plants to bed but can't because everything is still growing
