How to Grow

Aubergines are heat-demanding plants. In a cooler climate, a protected area or a greenhouse is recommended. Sow indoors in sterilized potting soil, about 0,5cm - 1cm deep. The best temperature for germination is about 24-30°C. Aubergine takes a long time to germinate, in general about 10-30 days. After germination, lower the temperature to around 20°C. Aubergines are quite slow and require a long season to produce fruit. Sow between 2-5 months before planting outdoors. Can be pruned for more compact plants.
