Planting of pepper seedlings

The best time for planting of pepper seedlings, in  My Lawn is the end of February and the first week of March. Planting of pepper seedlings can be carried out before, if you have a greenhouse, or a little later, but with daily highlighting fluorescent lamps to pick you could spend your time.

The seeds of long pepper sprout. Before planting seedlings in the ground and it should not be under the age of 60-65 days, otherwise immature plants may die in natural conditions. Soil mixture for planting of pepper seedlings, it is better to choose soft, light, fertile. To accelerate the process of germination of seeds can survive pepper manganese solution (for seed), and a growth stimulator is about 30 minutes. After this procedure, wrap the seeds in a damp cloth or paper, put in the package closer to a warm place, for example, to the battery. About a week seeds will germinate. To get more seasoned planting material through the week sprouted seeds can be refrigerated and keep for 5 days at a temperature of +1 - +8 degrees C.

Seeds deepen 2 cm, and the distance between each time to leave about 1-2 cm, cover it with earth, water. Then place the container in a plastic bag to create a greenhouse effect. If for planting of pepper seedlings are used cups, each seed is placed in the sacrament.
