Go to the store and buy eggplants of what is easier. And we buy, only such a pleasure from the shopping vegetable, as from your own hands grown, you will not get.
Eggplants are often called "blue". And in fact, what is just not! White, green, black, striped, lilac .. And the eggplant is considered to be vegetable longevity and food gods. It is useful for goug, gallstone Diseases, diabetes. Regularly by eating eggplants in food, you can lower cholesterol in the blood. I didn't just just manage to achieve the crop of this culture. Seedlings developed well: strong stem, big leaves. But after the transplantation to a permanent place, the flowers and the wound falls out, the fruits were not tied.
Once it turned out so that seedlings remained without care. Tomatoes stretched out, had a thin stem and pale leaves. The harvest turned out bad. It was clear that at the beginning of the growth of seedlings did not have enough light. And eggplants, on the contrary, suddenly pleased with the harvest. At high bushes among large leaves, real black handsome plates were glistened. I found out that everything is explained simply: in a seedle period, eggplant is needed in a short day. At this time, seedling stands on the windowsill.
I will not stop at the preparation of the soil and sowing seeds, everything is here for all the grated. Saying in mid-February (secondary and late) and at the end of the month (early). Eggplants do not like a transplant, very painfully tolerated it. Immediately in large containers, they do not, it is difficult to create comfortable conditions for young plants. Sowing seeds into plastic cassettes (now they are on sale, at 9 and 12 cells), covering polyethylene and keeping near the battery at a temperature of 24-26 °. So that the mold does not appear, every day I carry out the cassette for 15 minutes. When the soil dries, carefully watering warm water. When shoots appear, I exhibit cassettes to a light place with a temperature of 18-20 °, not lower.
With the appearance of the first pair of real leaves, the seedlings breathing well and carefully turn into spacious containers. When transshipment, seedlings quickly coming up and does not experience stress. It is important not to plunge plants, since, unlike tomatoes, eggplants do not give the apparent roots on the flooded stems.
Further seedlings develops with a decade-hour light day before the start of the bootonization. At the time of the formation of buds, the seedlings need to be planted at a permanent place.
If you abandon it, plants when disembarking in a greenhouse can reset flowers and wounds.
Plants in the greenhouse land in May, additionally shelter Loutrasil. We feed the inferior herbs and a cow. I water twice a week, abundantly. In hot weather every other day. The birthplace of eggplant - wet subtropics, and the lack of moisture will affect the quality of the fruit, they will be small, non-standard and bitter.
On the bush, we leave 6-8 stocks. Last year, the weight of mature fruits I had near a kilogram, a record-1.4 kg!
So, to obtain a good crop eggplant necessary:
- Provide seedlings 10-hour lighting.
- landing at a permanent place before the bootonization.
- In the greenhouse - abundant watering and feeding.
