.... and this is the results... I didnt really expect the seeds to look like these.... like very very tiny little balls or ovals... more like ovals, and many of them too. Now I just need some information on how to sow burmannii seeds... any tips, guys? How can I store the ones I wont sow?

I may seem grumpy. I'm not. I'm just very critical about subjects I have tested and fiddled with myself. I'm always open to advice, but don't try to force me.

I believe the ones you dont sow you can put in a bag or something and put them in the fridge. If you want to sow them here is what i did. Get some peat and sprinkle the seeds on top. Give them high humidity and nice warm temperatures and some patience.

D. burmannii can take a while (30+ days) to germinate, so I personally recommend microwaving your media prior to sowing them, because the humidity might cause algae growth, which can easily smother the seedlings.

I would not store the seeds since viability decreases drastically as time goes on. Either plant all the seeds or trade/ sell the excess

The best is to trade the seeds for the plants you don't own yet or plant them as soon as possible. Like already mentioned, they tend to loose viability with time.
