Frequently asked questions(5)
Sow seeds for seedlings in late January to February, so that by planting time in May the plants are at 8-10 leaves stage. Time from sowing to planting is 60-70 days.
Pepper seeds need a temperature of 25-30°C for good germination. Sprouts appear in 7-14 days. After seedlings emerge, temperature can be lowered to 20-25°C.
Pepper loves moist soil. During the growing season, water 1-2 times daily (morning and evening), and more often in hot weather. Soil should be moist but not waterlogged. Use warm water 20-25°C.
Main causes: low temperature (below 15°C at night), dry air, insufficient light, nitrogen excess, or sudden temperature fluctuations. Provide stable conditions: 22-28°C, 60-70% humidity, bright light 12-14 hours.
At seedling stage, use balanced fertilizers. During flowering and fruiting, fertilize every 7-10 days with phosphate-potassium fertilizers (monopotassium phosphate, potassium nitrate). Add microelements (boron, magnesium, zinc) if needed.
