I usually keep new sprouts under a dome until they are several inches tall. And provide a bright light

Maybe use a heating pad?

### Planter commented on 2025-02-03

Thanks but do you think a heating lamp would work also

If the Bell peppers sprouted and stay indoor, no need to cover.

I live in MN and I start my veggies indoors. I have an indoor greenhouse and seed starting tray with a lid but for the ones without a lid I put cling wrap on top to create a little humidity
