🌱 Growing Guide

Sowing: Sow indoors from January to March, ideally with gentle heat. Sow approximately 0.5–1 cm deep in seed compost and maintain around 20–25°C. Germination normally takes approximately 7–14 days.

Growing on: Once seedlings have developed 2–4 true leaves, transplant individually into larger pots. Keep warm and provide plenty of bright light.

Planting out: Aubergines require warmth and perform particularly well in a greenhouse or polytunnel in the UK. Plants can also be grown outdoors in large containers or a warm, sheltered sunny position once all risk of frost has passed.

Watering: Keep the compost or soil consistently moist without waterlogging. Container-grown plants may require frequent watering during warm weather.

Feeding: Once flowering and fruiting begins, feed regularly with a high-potash feed, such as tomato feed.

Support: Larger plants and heavily laden branches may benefit from canes or other support as the fruits develop.

Harvesting: Pick aubergines while the fruits are firm, glossy and have reached a suitable size for the variety. Don't leave them until the skin becomes dull and the fruit overly mature.
