The main rules for growing bell pepper seedlings: when to plant, what to water and how to care for them
Bell peppers have a very long growth period. From sowing seeds to planting seedlings in open ground, it takes from 90 to 150 days.
It all depends on the particular variety, as early varieties ripen in 3 months from the first shoots appearing, medium ones - in 4 months, and late ones will need 5 months. This does not include the time from sowing to the first shoots.
An important factor for rapid germination of pepper seeds is their pre-sowing soaking. The sowing time will also depend on this.
The next, no less important factor when growing pepper seedlings is maintaining the required temperature conditions.
If you place containers with sown seeds in a room with a temperature of 28-30C, they will sprout in 7 days. And if the room temperature does not exceed 20C, then the seeds will sprout only after 21 days.
Harvesting ripe peppers will depend on the weather conditions in which they were grown.
For example, in a greenhouse that has good lighting, you can get a pepper harvest much earlier than in hotbeds or in open ground, where everything will depend on the weather.
The first ripe peppers can be obtained 120 days after sowing for seedlings.
