So far I have had 2 plants germinate out of 20+ seeds. Very disappointed. The only saving grace is the two plants that did germinate. I will harvest their seeds for next planting.
Hi Brian, thanks for your review. Germinating Hatch-style chiles can be tricky, especially in an aerogarden as the seeds do not like to be wet or cold. You can, however, improve germination rates by placing a seedling heat mat under the aerogarden. The ideal temperature is 80-90 degrees. Our stock just finished its test at 86% germ so we have some good seeds here if you want to try again. I'll be in touch about a replacement packet.
Just about 100% germination. Slow growing like all peppers, but as the summer starts to heat up, I expect they will take off! (Zone 6)
Germinated half in moist paper towel and 4 days later all sprouted. 1 week later they’re now 3” and almost ready for transplanting.
Very good quality seeds every chili came up and are doing great.
Impressed! Well packed and all seeds germinated within 8 days. Will definitely buy again. Thanks
