Round White Aubergine Tinged With Pink

Here are some short tips for seeding Round White Aubergine Tinted with Pink (Eggplant) seeds:

1. Planting Time: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Transplant outdoors after all frost danger has passed and soil temperatures reach 70°F (21°C).

2. Soil: Choose well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 5.5-6.5. Add compost to improve soil texture and fertility.

3. Sowing Depth: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep, spaced 1-2 inches apart. Thin seedlings to 18-24 inches apart once they have a few leaves.

4. Temperature: Keep soil temperatures between 70-80°F (21-27°C) for optimal germination. Eggplants require warm temperatures to grow well.

5. Watering: Water consistently, keeping soil moist but not soggy. Deep watering is essential for strong root development.

6. Sunlight: Plant in a sunny location with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth and fruiting.

7. Transplanting: Transplant seedlings outdoors once they have 2-3 sets of leaves and the risk of frost has passed. Ensure nighttime temperatures stay above 50°F (10°C).

8. Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer or compost during planting. Once fruiting begins, switch to a high-potassium fertilizer to boost fruit production.

9. Pest Control: Watch for pests like aphids, flea beetles, and spider mites. Use organic treatments such as neem oil or insecticidal soap if needed.

10. Harvesting: Harvest when the fruits are fully round, firm, and glossy, typically 70-80 days after transplanting. Pick before the skin starts to dull.

Happy gardening!
