Chinese Eggplant Seedling

Cultural Roots' Chinese Eggplant Seedling is a heavy-feeder, meaning that it requires a lot of mineral nutrients to thrive. Incorporate compost into the soil before planting and water consistently through the growing season. Deep Waterings are recommended to produce strong roots. Stake the main stem to keep fruit off the ground, prune eggplant suckers (like tomatoes), and harvest once the fruit is 2-3 inches to prompt new fruit growth.

Chinese eggplants are long, with smooth purple skin. They have fewer seeds, making this varietal great for summer salads or deep-frying.
