Select seeds with a high germination rate

Choose varieties that are suitable for your region
Different varieties of pepper can be adapted to different climatic conditions.
Choose pepper varieties that are suitable for your region. Some seeds are better suited to hot, dry climates, while others are better suited to cooler, wetter climates.
Check the packaging date
Pepper seeds have a limited shelf life. Old seeds can lead to poor germination and low yields.
Check the date on the package to make sure the seeds are fresh. It is best to choose seeds that were packaged within the last year.
Prefer certified seeds

Check the characteristics of the pepper variety
Different varieties of pepper have their own characteristics, such as fruit size, shape, color and taste.

Check the growing conditions
Pepper seeds can be affected by different growing conditions such as temperature, humidity and light.
Make sure you choose seeds that match the growing conditions you can provide. If you live in a dry climate, choose seeds that can grow in low humidity conditions.
Opt for organic seeds
Organic pepper seeds do not contain chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which makes them safer for humans and the environment.
They can also produce a tastier and healthier harvest. If you prefer organic products, choose organic pepper seeds.
