When and how to plant chili peppers

Pepper planting time

The planting time of chili pepper needs to be determined according to the local climate. It prefers a warm and sunny growing environment. In Guangdong, the climate is relatively stable and it can basically be planted all year round, while other areas are generally planted around March to July.

How to plant peppers

1. Select a site for planting: The root system of chili pepper is relatively shallow, so when planting, you need to choose a sunny slope. It is more suitable for growing in neutral or weakly alkaline soil.

2. Soak the seeds for germination: Before sowing the peppers, in order to increase the germination rate of the seeds, they need to be placed in the sun for two days, which is more conducive to sterilization. After that, they need to be soaked in warm water for about 12 hours.

3. Sowing: After the pepper seeds are processed, they can be evenly sown in the seedbed, covered with a thin layer of soil, and then watered appropriately to keep the soil moist.

Tips for planting peppers

After sowing the peppers, it is best to keep the temperature between 25-28 degrees, which is more conducive to growth. They will germinate after a week, and when the seedlings grow to 5 cm, they can be transplanted.
