If I order seeds that will stay in the mail one month what will happen to them ?

If I order seeds that will stay in the mail one month in closed zip bag what will happen to them ?

Most seeds start to sprout in the bags after 5 days . It seems that being in humid closed bags triggers sprouting whereas if planted naturally the seeds could stay " dormant ".

After 15 days in the bags they show more or less elongation, depending on species and this does not seem to impact the percentage of successful seedlings after replanting to soil.

Hoya verticillata seeds after 1 month in closed humid bag do not elongate much but parasitica x pachyclada elongate much more.
