How chilly and tomatoes seeds are
sown?
Answers
Answer:
Fill small pots with seed sowing compost. I use this compost as it is an ideal texture to hold moisture for the seeds to germinate.
Use a chopstick or the blunt end of a pencil to make holes that are 0.5 cm deep.
Place a seed in each hole – I tend to place from 5 to 8 seeds in each pot (remember to sow a few more than you need, as not all seeds will germinate)
Cover each seed up by closing the hole with the compost on the sides.
Use slightly tepid water to moisten the compost. Please don’t be generous with the water as it may cause the seeds to rot instead.
Use a plastic bag to cover the pot or place in a tray that has a plastic cover – this will help to hold the temperature and humidity.
Leave the pots or tray in a warm place indoors. I like to leave mine near the boiler in my kitchen.
After 7-21 days, you will see little green shoots peeking through the compost. Once this happens, you can take the plastic cover off and place them near a bright warm window.
Water only when the compost becomes dry to the touch. Chillies do not need much water.
Once the seedlings have the second set of leaves (true leaves), they will be ready for transplanting into their own pots with multipurpose compost in them.
