​​​​​​Cultivation.
In many ways, growing eggplants is similar to caring for tomatoes. Due to the vulnerability of the root system, the plant does not tolerate transplantation well, so you have to grow seedlings directly in peat pots and not plant them. Seeds germinate in 10-15 days. Seedlings reach the desired size in 40-45 days. Until the seeds have sprouted, the room temperature should be maintained within 22-26 degrees, and after the sprouts appear, it should be lowered to 13-16 degrees. Then the roots will be stronger, and the sprouts themselves will not stretch. After 5-6 days, the temperature is raised again to 20-25 degrees. They support it until it is planted in the ground.
During the season, from 3 to 5 feedings are carried out. The first feeding is required 2 weeks after planting the seedlings in the ground.
