What turns fragile shoots into powerful bushes that break under the weight of the fruit?
Not magic, but three steps that experienced gardeners keep quiet about.
The first secret is awakening the seeds. Soaking in a solution of succinic acid (0.5 g per glass of water) for a day softens the shell, accelerating germination by 30%.
Heat enhances the effect: place the container with seeds near a radiator or on a cupboard.
There is a separate life hack for pepper: carefully trimming the tip of the seed with scissors reduces the germination time by 3-4 days.
The soil is the basis of success. A mixture of deoxidized peat, biohumus, river sand and coconut fiber creates an ideal environment for the roots.
Adding Baikal M1 (1 cap per 10 liters of soil) kills pathogens and saturates the soil with beneficial bacteria.
The result is seedlings with thick stems and richly colored leaves.
The finale is protection from enemies, even if invisible at first glance. Half an hour in pharmacy chlorhexidine destroys 98% of infections on seeds.
After such treatment, seedlings avoid black leg and other diseases, starting to grow without interference.
These methods do not require expensive means or special skills from the gardener.
Simplicity is their main trump card. Don't be afraid, try it - and eventually your beds will explode with the harvest you've long dreamed of.
