It is better to plant pepper seeds in separate pots or cups so that the bushes do not interfere with each other. The maximum planting depth should not exceed 2 cm. At the end, the pepper is covered with soil and watered abundantly, and then covered with transparent material and placed in a lighted place.
Seedlings must be kept warm so that the seeds quickly take root and give the first shoots.
