TRANSPLANT (recommended) - Sow seed indoors during early spring, or 6-8 weeks prior to planting outdoors. Sow 4 seeds/2.5cm, 6mm deep, and maintain soil temperature at 27-32°C until emergence and 21°C thereafter. Seed will not germinate in cool soil.
After true leaves form, transplant into 5-8cm pots or soil blocks. To harden plants, reduce water and temperature to about 16°C for about a week before planting out.
Transplant outdoors late spring or early summer once the weather has thoroughly settled. Eggplants are tender, and cold weather may weaken them.
