Bell Peppers
I have been having a really hard time trying to grow some Bell peppers, popularly called Capsicum. I have planted seeds several times with no luck. Any tips on how to get them going? Does it require any special conditions?
I hope you did not plant the seeds from the fruit itself. Most of the fruits are of a hybrid type and their seeds may not germinate and even if they do they may not produce fruits as seeds needs to undergo some processes before they could be germinated.
You also need to give them a soaking and planting depth should also be low.
I am a hydroponic grower and I can help you with seeds and nutrients etc. You can view the nutrients on line at e-bay and I can send you some seeds as a complimentary. http://shop.ebay.in/atulkalaskar/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p4340
