What happens to dry petchay seeds?

Dry petchay seeds, when stored properly, remain dormant and viable for germination. Upon exposure to moisture and favorable conditions, such as warmth and light, the seeds absorb water, swell, and initiate the germination process. This leads to the development of a seedling, which eventually grows into a mature petchay plant. If not stored correctly, however, the seeds can lose viability over time.
