help peppers are not growing

Squeaky · June 10, 2012

My sweat bananas are doing but bell, thai red chilli, and ghost sprouted and have stopped growing for like 2 weeks. All were started from seed, only watering from a spray bottle now but was using a water can from bottom up and plants never got dry. Any thing i can do at this point, this is my 1st attempt at growing peppers from seed. ty

Maybe slow down your watering and them dry up a bit before your next watering. Also peppers love heat, dark containers are good for early season. Alot of peppers are slower to get going, give em some time, lots of sun and they should be fine. Good luck.

TY I did cut down on my watering only using a spray bottle now to water. I also think I added bone meal too soon, right after seeds sprouted.

My peppers are always slow to get going. Once the summer heat sets in,..they take right off. They also seem to stall the longest after transplanting into the garden.
