It doesn't matter whether you used dry seeds for sowing or sprouted them, it happens that the seedlings never sprout.
An expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh listed the main mistakes gardeners make that can affect the germination of peppers.
Firstly, the quality of pepper seeds is important. A regular salt solution will do to check the seeds – empty seeds will immediately rise to the surface of the water.
Secondly, pay attention to the air temperature in the room. For germination, pepper seeds need the room to be warm - from +23 to +25 degrees.
You can create a favorable microclimate for the seed material if you cover the container with seedlings with film or glass.
Thirdly, you shouldn’t expect pepper shoots to emerge if you use dense soil.
Additives such as sand, vermiculite or sawdust will help make the soil loose.
And fourthly: after the seeds are in the ground, monitor the soil moisture and do not allow it to dry out.
