Plant Care & Growing Tips

To ensure a bountiful harvest of your white purple eggplant seeds, proper care and attention are essential. Eggplants thrive in warm weather, so it’s best to start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date in your area. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in good quality seed-starting mix. Maintain a consistent soil temperature of 75-85°F (24-29°C) for optimal germination, which typically occurs within 7-14 days. Once seedlings have developed a few true leaves, they can be transplanted into larger pots.

When transplanting outdoors, choose a location that receives full sun, meaning at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. The soil should be well-draining, rich in organic matter, and have a pH between 6.0 and 6.8. Space your eggplant plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth. Water consistently, especially during flowering and fruit development, aiming for about 1 inch of water per week, either from rain or irrigation. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks with a balanced organic fertilizer once plants start producing fruit. Protect young plants from pests like flea beetles and aphids. With proper care, you’ll be enjoying your home-grown eggplants in 70-85 days from transplant.
