Sowing hot peppers is really easy. Bless yourself:
The right time
Hot peppers actually germinate all year round, but January is ideal for planting the seeds in the ground.
The pot
You will need spring pots for sowing a pepperoni. To ensure that there is always an adequate water supply, it is best to place several spring pots in a low bowl, which you fill with liquid. You can convert this into a small greenhouse by putting a plastic bag over it. A simple rubber band is used for fastening.
The site
To germinate, hot peppers need a light and warm place. A temperature of 25 ° C is ideal. A sunny windowsill is ideal for this. In winter, the heating also helps to optimize the temperature if necessary.
Sowing and watering
First let your spring pots swell with warm water. Then press two to three seeds in the middle of each container. The depth depends on the type of pepper and can usually be found on the packaging as an indication. In the following, make sure to always keep the soil moist.
