When is the best time to sow pepper seeds?

Pepper seed sowing time

The time range for sowing pepper seeds is relatively wide, and they can be planted from March to July. They prefer a warm growing environment, so during this period, as long as the temperature reaches between 20-30 degrees, they can be sown. Appropriate early sowing can allow them to grow fully.

Pepper seed planting method and steps

1. Seedbed: When sowing peppers, you need to choose a place with higher terrain, sheltered from the wind and facing the sun, and use fertile soil as the seedbed. Before sowing, you need to prepare the land, apply some decomposed farmyard manure, and then disinfect it.

2. Germination: Before sowing, the pepper seeds need to be soaked and germinated. They need to be soaked in warm water at about 50 degrees for 30 minutes, and then soaked in clean water for 7 hours. After taking them out and drying them, they are placed in an environment of about 30 degrees for germination for 3-4 days.

3. Sowing: After that, you can sow the germinated pepper seeds on the seedbed. There should be a certain planting spacing. After sowing, they need to be covered with a layer of soil and watered enough to allow them to have sufficient moisture for growth.

4. Maintenance: After sowing, the pepper seeds will germinate in about 6-7 days. After germination, they need to be placed in a place with sufficient light and good ventilation for maintenance, and good fertilizer and water management are also required.
