Cultivating Thor’s Thunderbolt pepper

Germinating pepper seeds is a straightforward process that requires attention to detail. Begin by selecting a high-quality potting soil that is light, well-draining, and nutrient-rich. Fill a small container with the soil, ensuring it is moistened adequately. Place the pepper seeds on top of the soil, leaving space between each seed. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil and create a mini greenhouse environment by covering the container with plastic wrap or a clear dome. Position the container in a warm, bright location to aid germination.

Maintain the moisture level of the soil by watering when the top inch feels dry to the touch. Once the seeds have germinated and sprouted, remove the plastic wrap or dome. Continue to keep the soil moist and the seedlings in a bright location to support their growth. Following these steps diligently will help ensure successful germination of pepper seeds.
