🌱 GROWING INSTRUCTIONS – JAPANESE EGGPLANT

Botanical Name: Solanum melongena

Plant Type: Warm-season annual crop, perennial in frost-free conditions

☀️ Sunlight: Full sun, preferably 6–8 hours daily.

🌡️ Best Germination Temperature: 24–30°C.

🌱 Sowing Depth: 5–10 mm.

⏳ Germination: Approximately 7–14 days under favourable conditions. Cooler temperatures may delay germination.

📏 Plant Spacing: 45–60 cm apart, with 75–90 cm between rows.

🌿 Growing Season in South Africa: Sow in spring and summer once temperatures are consistently warm. In cooler regions, start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last expected frost.

STEP 1 – SOWING

Fill seed trays or small pots with a fine, well-draining seed-starting mix.

Sow seeds 5–10 mm deep and lightly cover with soil.

Water gently and maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging.

Keep trays in a warm location until germination.

STEP 2 – TRANSPLANTING

Transplant seedlings when they have developed 4–6 true leaves and outdoor temperatures are suitable.

Harden seedlings off gradually before planting outdoors.

Choose a sunny position with fertile, compost-enriched, well-draining soil.

STEP 3 – WATERING & FEEDING

Water deeply and regularly, especially during flowering and fruit development.

Apply mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Feed with compost or a balanced vegetable fertiliser. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can encourage leafy growth at the expense of fruit.

STEP 4 – PLANT CARE

Provide stakes or supports when plants become heavy with fruit.

Protect young plants from frost and strong winds.

Monitor for aphids, flea beetles and red spider mites.

STEP 5 – HARVESTING

🍆 Harvest: Approximately 55–65 days after transplanting under favourable growing conditions, depending on the variety.

Harvest fruits while the skin is glossy, firm and tender.

Cut fruits from the plant using clean pruning shears, leaving a short stem attached.

Harvest regularly to encourage continued fruit production.

🌾 SEED SAVING

Allow selected healthy fruits to mature fully beyond the edible stage until the skin becomes dull and changes colour.

Extract the mature seeds, rinse away pulp and dry thoroughly in a shaded, well-ventilated area before storing.

For seed purity, isolate plants from other eggplant varieties or protect flowers from cross-pollination.
