Interesting. I have a question about orchid seeds. How long can we store orchid seeds in the fridge before they become unusable?

under proper storage condition, i had read in internet it can be kept up to four or five years. however, germination rate declines over time.
i had mine kept in fridge over two years now, still with acceptable to good germination rate.
i do not know if this varies among different species of orchids, but my observation is mainly for the catasetum genus.
