CARE AFTER GERMINATION OF PURPLE EGGPLANT

It is best to incorporate compost before planting Aubergine Violetta di Firenze, as it prefers nutrient-rich soil. To grow healthy Aubergines, be sure that they get full sun six hours a day, and keep them moist. Water deeply and slowly once a week or more frequently during dry weather to keep the soil moist. You should avoid using deep digging tools since the roots are shallow and can be damaged by deep digging when the leaves are four-leafed, plant in pots, and place a light source underneath—a sheltered place with fertile soil around 20 degrees Celsius with full sun. Plant your seeds outdoors around mid-May at a distance of 60 x 80 cm.
