Pepper Seed Germination Time

Most pepper seeds germinate within 7-21 days but it's good to keep them nice and warm at 80-90˚ F to make sure the seeds sprout. Do not keep them in a cold room or a greenhouse that gets cold at night – they need consistent 80-90˚ F temperatures to ensure best germination. Pepper seed germination time varies greatly for peppers. For example, with super hot peppers like Carolina Reaper and Trinidad Scorpions are often very slow to sprout – make sure to be patient and wait up to 7-21+ days for them to sprout. Don't give up on them! Keeping them warm at 80-90˚F will help you have a lot more success with germination.
