How to Grow

1. Fill a seedling tray or small pot with a fine, clean, well-draining seed-starting mix.
2. Sow at the right depth — 0.5–1 cm; transplant 4–5 week old seedlings.
3. Water gently with a spray bottle so the seeds are not displaced. Keep the medium moist, not waterlogged.
4. Place the tray where it gets the right light for this plant (full sun). Protect young seedlings from harsh afternoon sun.
5. Under suitable conditions, sprouts usually appear in 8-14 days at 25-30C.

Light, water, soil and feeding

• Light: Full sun
• Water: Regular deep watering — whenever the top soil dries. Never let it face drought during fruiting.
• Soil: Rich, well-drained loam with compost; pH 6.0-7.0
• Temperature: 22–32°C ideal — brinjal loves warmth.
• Fertiliser: Balanced feed every 20 days; increase potash once fruiting starts.

Sowing season in India

February–March, June–July and October–November — three seasons in India. Exact timing depends on your local temperature and conditions.

Common problems

Shoot and fruit borer is the biggest issue — cut off and remove affected shoots. Jassids and mealybug too.
