What should you not forget when caring for eggplants?

Eggplants are quite heat-loving plants that require careful handling and careful approach. I want to tell you about several points that will help you grow healthy eggplants.

Landing:

  • In our climate, it is best to grow eggplants in a greenhouse.
  • They can only be planted together with tomatoes.
  • When planting an eggplant bush, you should not bury the stem more than 1-2 centimeters.
  • In the first 3-4 days after planting, it is necessary to provide the eggplants with shade and abundant watering.
  • These days, you can water each eggplant bush with a glass of black yeast solution.

Care:

  • If the eggplant variety is tall, then you can dig a stick next to the bush and tie the plant to it.
  • It is necessary to water the plant once a week, but if the weather is dry, then more often.
  • You need to cut the stem of the plant when it is higher than 20-25 centimeters.
  • Fertilizing should be done 3-5 times per season, starting 2 weeks after planting.
  • It is best to water the eggplant bush with warm water.
  • It is necessary to frequently ventilate the greenhouse where eggplants grow, because they do not tolerate humidity above 65-70%.

I think that by following these simple points, you will be able to grow fertile eggplant bushes in your garden!

The main problem with eggplants, in my experience, is that as the tops on the potatoes dry out, Colorado beetles for some reason move to the eggplants; they love them even more than tomatoes.Naturally, I try to fight them, but with varying degrees of success.
