Just keep them out of extremes in temperatures.

Answer 4

I put mine in coffee cans or clear jars with the lids not on them it seems to me that every time I have put them in a sealed container something is moist and the seeds start to mold so I like the idea of the clear jars because I can see whats in it and tell what it is and I always like to put a picture in it so I know what variety it is, the coffee cans are good because of the size.
