Now you should begin spreading the pepper seeds in the soil you put in the pot and watering them once a day: After three days you will only notice small green sprouts.
Remember to place the pot with the pepper seeds in a cool, bright, but not too bright place where the sun’s rays do not directly hit the sprouts.
What happens after just seven days is even more astonishing: the seedlings have now formed roots and are ready to grow again. So place the pot in a warm, bright spot and don’t forget to water the soil at least once a day.
Fifteen days after planting, you can add an organic fertilizer to help the plants grow faster. If you want large, healthy peppers with brilliant natural coloring, always keep the plants in a sunny spot and water them daily.
If there is no sun, the plant will grow tall but weak and break easily, thus blocking pepper production. Pepper is a nutrient-demanding plant, so don’t forget to fertilize it at least once every 14 days.
After 25 days, the plants will be large enough to be pruned and planted in individual pots. Use as many (smaller) pots as there are seedlings to plant. Fill them with moist, fertilized soil, make furrows, and bury the plants. Water regularly, at least once a day. After a month, you’ll see the first colorful peppers on your plants!
