Pepper is a healthy vegetable that is highly praised by gardeners.
To grow and harvest a large crop of juicy and sweet peppers, you need to know how to properly prepare seeds for planting and organize care.
Peppers love a lot of light, so allocate beds for peppers that are located in a bright place. In the shade, the shoots will grow brittle and will not bloom.
One of the stages of preparing seeds for planting is their pickling. This method helps rid seeds of infection, pathogens and fungi. This is especially necessary if the seeds are grown without the use of chemicals.
Hydrogen peroxide is used to disinfect seeds. The product helps improve the plant's immunity and makes peppers more resistant to various diseases.
How to Properly Process Pepper Seeds
Soak the pepper seeds in clean water for 1 hour, then in hydrogen peroxide – 2 tablespoons of 3% peroxide per 1 liter of water – for 30 minutes.
Rinse in clean water and prepare an ash solution: 1/3 teaspoon of ash per 1 cup of boiling water.
Pour the seeds into the cooled solution for 1 day and then you can sow.
