Cultivation Advice (Agrotechnics):
Sow eggplant seeds for seedlings in late February or early March.
Maintain the temperature at +25..+28°C until germination. After the seedlings emerge, it is crucial to lower the temperature to +18°C during the day and no lower than +14°C at night (to prevent them from stretching).
Prick out the seedlings when they have 1-2 true leaves. Transplant outdoors or into a greenhouse only after all danger of frost has passed. Planting density is up to 5 plants per 1 sq.m.
Further care involves regular feeding, weeding, and careful loosening of the soil.
