How to germinate pepper seeds

1. Choose pepper seeds

The quality of pepper seeds will directly affect germination. Do not use seeds that are more than 2 years old. Try to pick seeds that are relatively similar in size and are plump.

2. Soak the seeds

Put the selected seeds into water. The water in the basin must be higher than the height of the seeds. The soaking time should not be too long, about 6-8 hours will be enough. After soaking, take out the vegetables and control the water.

3. Germination

Find a container and put paper towels or gauze on it. Be sure to use moist paper towels. Then put the seeds on and wrap them with plastic film on the outside. The temperature should be best at 25-30℃. Such an environment will be more conducive to the germination of pepper seeds.

4. Start sowing

After the soaked pepper seeds have sprouted, they can be sown in the seedbed. The soil in the seedbed must be fine and loose. Then place the seeds on the soil surface and cover them with soil so that they are not exposed on the soil surface. If the temperature is not high enough, you can cover it with straw to keep it warm. After the pepper seeds have completely broken through the soil and sprouted, you can remove the straw.
