Pepper seeds germinate after a few days.

Pepper seeds usually germinate in about 7- 15 days.

The germination time of pepper seeds is not fixed. If the quality of pepper seeds is good and the surrounding temperature and humidity are suitable, the germination speed of pepper seeds will be faster. On the contrary, the germination rate of pepper seeds will slow down. To improve the germination rate of pepper seeds, we can choose good quality seeds, dry them in advance, disinfect them, and then accelerate germination.

In addition, controlling the temperature can also improve the germination speed of pepper seeds. The temperature should be kept between 15-35℃. In this range, the higher the temperature, the shorter the germination time, generally about 5-7 days at 30℃, about 7- 10 days at 25℃ and about 10 days at 20℃.

Methods to prevent freezing injury of pepper seedlings

Provide soil: Pepper likes loose, fertile and well-drained sandy soil. It can be planted in soil mixed with sand, vermiculite and base fertilizer. Before planting pepper, the soil should be dried in the sun for about 3 days to eliminate bacteria.

Seedlings should be exposed to more light to enhance their cold resistance: the greenhouse where seedlings are raised should be covered with a film with high light transmittance, and the film should be cleaned frequently. On sunny days, the insulation quilt should be uncovered on time, so that the seedlings can be exposed to more light, so that the seedlings can grow healthily and enhance their cold resistance.

Heat preservation and anti-freezing: on snowy days, clear the snow on the seedling shed in time after the snow stops. During the cold current, according to the cooling situation, the hot blast stove and the geothermal line should be turned on at night to increase the temperature, or the seedling shed room should be covered with an inner cover, and the middle shed and the shed can cover the seedbed.
