    i usually slice them open, give them a few know from the outside and dry seeds will fall out from it (pods are about 75% maturity when harvested). collect them in a piece of paper towel and stored it in a closed container in the refrigerator, it can last for a couple of years but germination rate would decline with time according what i read.
    i haven't tried keeping the entire green pod in the fridge before.......but i had kept one almost mature pod of phal. pulcherrima in the fridge but the pod burst open in less than a week time in the fridge.
