How can I effectively dry papaya seeds for planting to ensure successful germination and growth?

To effectively dry papaya seeds for planting, first remove them from the fruit and wash off any pulp. Then, spread the seeds out on a paper towel or mesh screen in a warm, well-ventilated area for about a week to allow them to dry completely. Make sure to stir or turn the seeds occasionally to ensure even drying. Once dry, store the seeds in a cool, dry place until you are ready to plant them. This process will help ensure successful germination and growth of the papaya seeds.
