Collecting and Cleaning Seeds
Collecting seeds
In most cases, you will want fairly large envelopes or even small paper bags in which you can place entire capsules. People who collect a lot in the wild sometimes use small cloth drawstring bags, either home-made or purchased from scientific or geological suppliers. The cloth bags will not fall apart if exposed to moisture, and they allow the plant material to "breathe" and dry naturally. Do not place seeds in plastic bags; they are likely to mold and rot.
