Pepper - culture whimsical. All gardeners know about it. Seeds do not want to ascend, ascend one by one, despite the created conditions. How many time it is worth waiting for shoots of this ""pighead""?
For receiving amicable shoots of pepper it is required to observe number of important recommendations strictly.

- The soil has to be constantly humidified and have temperature +20-25os.
- Air temperature indoors to be in limits +25-30os.
- Important factor is the quality of nutritious soil mix: it has to be friable, water - and aircapacious, deoxidated.
According to experts the dry seeds of pepper ascend for 15-18 day. At low temperature indicators, +20-22os, seeds of pepper sprout very slowly and shoots can appear only 20-30 days later.
Therefore skilled summer residents often resort to process of soaking of seeds of pepper. If before crops to wet seeds in the water having temperature of +40 - 50 wasps within 4-5 hours then to couch them on the filtered paper at temperature 25-27os, then sprouts appear for 2-4 days. You should not use fabric for prorashchivaniye of seeds. Material often ""turns sour"", and seeds on it rot from moisture.
The seeds covered with special protective substances from diseases and painted in bright colors do not ret, but it is possible to couch them.
As soon as 3 - 5% of seeds of pepper arise - at once start crops. Seeds with white backs accurately transfer to the paved and spilled in advance nutritious way on depth of 1-1.5 cm. Then cover with film for moisture preservation, without having forgotten to make several openings, small in 2-3, for ventilation and put to the dark warm place. At temperature not lower than 25 wasps, and ideally 27-28os, seeds of pepper jump out for 7-10 day. Observance of optimal conditions at prorashchivaniye reduces waiting time of sprouts from the soil.
