How to save pepper seeds

If you are making seeds professionally, you should choose fresh and ripe peppers, peel the seeds, and then dry them for storage. If you do not take out the seeds first, the seeds will easily become moldy and the color will darken, reducing their commercial value.

How to Plant Pepper Seeds

1. Peppers prefer a slightly higher temperature environment and are not resistant to low temperatures. Therefore, the sowing time is related to the local climate. For example, in Guangdong, sowing can be done at any time, while other regions should sow from March to July.

2. After the pepper seeds are processed, prepare a suitable flowerpot first. The soil inside should be fertile and loose. Sow the seeds in the flowerpot, pay attention to the spacing, and do not plant too densely. Cover them with a thin layer of soil and press them gently. After sowing, pay attention to watering and place them in a diffuse light environment.

3. After sowing, the peppers will germinate in about 5-8 days, and the first true leaf will appear after half a month. Then it will enter the flowering and fruiting periods. The suitable growth temperature is between 15-34 degrees. The seeds will germinate in about 5 days in an environment of 25-30 degrees. The seeds will not germinate when the temperature is below 15 degrees or above 35 degrees.
