- Species and varieties: Eggplant (Solanum melongena) comes in various species and varieties. Common varieties include Black Beauty, Ichiban, and Rosa Bianca. Each variety has unique characteristics in terms of size, shape, and color.
- Hybrid or heirloom: Eggplant seeds can be either hybrid or heirloom. Hybrid varieties are bred for specific traits such as disease resistance and uniformity, while heirloom varieties are open-pollinated and have been passed down through generations, often prized for their unique flavors and historical significance.
- Pruning and training: Pruning is not always necessary for eggplants, but it can help improve air circulation and fruit production. Remove any damaged or diseased leaves and stems. Staking or caging may be required to support the plants as they grow and bear fruit.
- Fertilization needs: Eggplants are heavy feeders and benefit from regular fertilization. Use a balanced fertilizer with equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Apply a slow-release fertilizer at planting time and supplement with a liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during the growing season.
- Hardiness zones: Eggplants are best suited for USDA hardiness zones 4-10. They thrive in warm climates and require a long growing season.
- Climate requirements: Eggplants require a warm climate with temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C) during the day and not below 50°F (10°C) at night. They need full sun exposure and well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 5.5 and 7.0.
