Caring for seedlings of a crop such as eggplant cannot be called difficult.

To obtain strong and healthy seedlings, you need to monitor the temperature in the room.

The optimal values are 25-30 degrees, so it is worth placing containers with eggplants in the warmest place of the apartment.

Important: there should be no drafts in the place where the eggplants will be placed.

The watering schedule is as follows: seedlings are watered 1-2 times a week until the first true leaf forms.

After this period, the frequency of watering should be increased to 2-3 times a week.

Well, a few words about fertilizing. If you prepared the soil yourself, the seedlings will need only one fertilizing.

To prepare the nutrient composition, dilute one tablespoon of complex liquid fertilizer in 10 liters of water and use the resulting mixture when the seedlings have 4 true leaves.
