Last year I planted some seeds that I had saved from the previous year in a tray, they duly came up and grew into very good producers which I passed on to friends. I saved seeds last year and have plated in in a heated tray about a week ago. I don't see any sign of growth yet. Is there something I am missing or doing wrong, are the seed fertile? Any pointers would be appreciated THANX I agree with the others. Wait. A week is pretty fast for chillies. I often soak them in water overnight then keep them in damp kitchen-paper in a plastic bag until some start to show signs of germination. Then I can sow them. This often helps if you're in a hurry. Plus you get an idea of how viable the seeds are. -- Tim C. |

Any pointers would be appreciated THANX I'd agree with the other post so far - a week isnt really long enough to be sure they're not going to come up... My packet bell pepper seeds took 3 weeks to do anything in a propagator!! But they're going well now! Rgds, Dan |

Plus you get an idea of how viable the seeds are. Hmm. Wait a little longer perhaps, but I'd say you had cause for concern if they are in a heated tray. My chilis all showed signs of life within about a week. I kept them on a radiator in a propagator until they germinated. Of the various varieties I'm trying the Jalapeno's started coming up pretty fast (3 to 4 days) and the rest took 5 or 6 days (Apache, Early Jalapeno, Hot Wax). Only the Habanero took longer, they took maybe 8 or 9 days. If you see nothing after 2 or 3 weeks I'd assume you were on to a looser and get some more seeds. I bought mine from www.chillifire.co.uk, and so far have had a 100% success rate in germination, and they were delivered in under 24 hours (ordered in the afternoon, on the doormat next morning). I reckon (as a complete novice) that there is still plenty of time for starting again. You can search on the web for all sorts of hints and tips for treating chili seeds (e.g. rinsing in cold tea and various other concoctions). For me moist seedling compost and a radiator worked fine. Growing them and getting a decent crop is another matter, I don't have a greenhouse so they are going to live on a flat roof... we'll see how that goes. |
