Hi! Sorry to hear you had a poor experience with our seeds.
Sandia Seed makes every effort possible to ensure your success.
Here are our tips for success:
1. Seedling mix, never peat moss, cover seed 1/4”.
2. Moist at all times, can’t dry out once, seed will die.
3. Warm at all times, if they get cold the clock starts over.
4. Patience, don't compare peppers to any other vegetable germination times.
Pepper seeds only germinate when it is warm, because they want to complete their life-cycle and produce fruit. There is no reason for them to start growing when it is cold or dry. Each pepper variety takes a different amount of time to germinate. It can be 7 days or it can be over 45 days. More info at sandiaseed.com/pages/grow.

We will go over your germination procedure and find a solution for you. And we can offer replacement seeds or a seed refund.
