How to Successfully Grow Peppers from Seeds.

By Lesia

🌶️ Select the seeds: Choose good quality pepper seeds from a variety that suits your climate.
🌿 Preparing the substrate: Use a light, well-drained soil mix suitable for germination, such as a peat and perlite mix.


💧 Sowing the seeds: Plant the seeds at a depth of approximately 0.5 cm in the moist substrate.
🌞 Warm location: Place the container in a warm location with indirect light or under a grow lamp, as peppers require temperatures between 20-30°C to germinate.
💦 Constant watering: Keep the substrate slightly moist, avoiding waterlogging, to encourage germination.


🌱 Transplanting: When seedlings have 4-6 true leaves and the risk of frost has passed, transplant them to their final location in the garden or into large pots.
🌿 Ongoing Care: Provide direct sunlight, water regularly, and fertilize every 2-4 weeks to ensure healthy growth.

1-Line Summary: Growing peppers from seed is successful with proper soil, warmth, consistent watering, and ongoing care.
