Germination Tips:
- Soaking: Soak seeds overnight in warm water to enhance germination.
- Seedling Trays: Sow seeds about 0.5 cm deep in well-draining seedling trays filled with a mix of cocopeat, compost, and soil.
- Temperature: Maintain a temperature of 25-30°C (77-86°F) for optimal germination.
- Sunlight: Place trays in a bright location, but avoid direct harsh sunlight during early stages.
- Moisture: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
Planting Tips:
- Timing: Plant seedlings in the warm season, after the last frost.
- Spacing: Transplant seedlings when they have 4-6 true leaves, spacing them about 60 cm (2 feet) apart.
- Soil: Brinjals thrive in fertile, well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0).
- Sunlight: Choose a spot that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Caring Tips:
- Watering: Water deeply and regularly, especially during flowering and fruiting. Avoid overhead watering to minimize disease.
- Fertilizing: Feed your plants with balanced organic fertilizer every 3-4 weeks.
- Mulching: Spread mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
- Support: Provide stakes or trellises for tall varieties.
- Pest control: Monitor for common pests like aphids and whiteflies, and use organic control methods.
