Slow growing peppers????

[newhotstuff]

I started some peppers in small yogurt cups Tuesday indoors next to the window. It's about 75 in the house lately, and their just in potting soil and I spray then once or twice a day. I also poked several holes in the bottom with a tack to allow drainage, No one's "woken up yet"?? Suggestions?


I got:

Jalapeno
Jamaican Hot Chocolate
California Wonder

Thanks

Be patient my friend.
Germination time is days to months for chili peppers.
Those you varietes should sprout week or two.
I have use germination temp 77-86.
Do you use cover those cups?

 

[newhotstuff]

no perhaps I should?

Yeah, even with warming pads or other heating, they can take anywhere from 2 to 5 weeks to germinate, maybe even longer.

Things to look out for, use distilled water, sprinkle cinnamon around (but not on the seeds) to avoid mold, keep the moist but not soaking wet and after you start to germinate them NEVER EVER let the seeds dry out! Not even for a few seconds!

Other than that, they should make their appearence sooner or later.

Good Luck
