How to plant pepper seedlings

Fill the seedling box halfway with peat and water with a weak solution of potassium permanganate.

We lay out the sprouted seeds in rows with the root side down, cover them with peat (1 cm), and moisten the soil with a solution of potassium permanganate using a spray bottle.

Next, we stretch the film over the box and put it in a warm place. The air temperature should be around 25-28 degrees.

After the "loops" appear, we place the box under a phytolamp for 24-hour supplementary lighting for three to four days. In the future, the daylight hours should be 14-16 hours.

Earlier we talked about why you should water your houseplants with rice water.
