Are Bell Pepper Seeds Slow To Germinate?
Ten days ago I planted eight Big Bertha bell pepper seeds in peat pellets. I have them in small plastic cups which I placed in a zip lock bag along with a damp piece of sponge. They are also on top of a germination heat mat. So far, I only see 2 seeds that are germinating and just showing through the peat pellets. Is this length of time common for bell pepper seeds?

Yes, peppers are very slow two germinate. Peppers are also a slow growing
plant, at least in Michigan's cooler weather. I usually wait two to three weeks for them to pop up out of the soil. -- Enjoy Life... Nad R (Garden in zone 5a Michigan) |
