At the moment, many gardeners are growing eggplant seedlings.
Proper care of a young plant is the key to a rich harvest.
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told how to care for seedlings so that later there will be no problems with the development of garden crops.
Select the appropriate container
Not all containers are suitable for growing eggplant seedlings.
The container should not be too small and tight. Otherwise, serious problems with the root system will arise.
Store seedlings in the right place
The young plant must be protected from direct sunlight.
Therefore, do not leave containers with seedlings in well-lit places.
The container standing on the windowsill should be protected by a closed curtain.
At the same time, the plant needs to be protected from low temperatures.
Feed correctly
When growing eggplant seedlings, you should not overdo it with fertilizers. Excess nutrients can lead to fattening of the young plant and to a future decrease in yield.
The gardener must be careful when applying potassium and phosphorus fertilizers, as well as magnesium sources.
It is worth completely abandoning the use of nitrogen and organic matter.
