Description

The eggplant is a perennial, bushy semi-shrub that belongs to the cold-sensitive nightshade family. The fruits are ripe when they are fully colored. There are many different varieties with various colors (purple, yellow, red), shapes (elongated, club-shaped, round, oval) and sizes (up to 1 kg).

Growing tips

You should grow eggplants in nutrient-rich soil in a sunny, warm location. To prevent the plants from bending, you can tie them up. As with tomatoes, side shoots should be removed by breaking them off directly at the base. From time to time, it is worth removing some of the fruit shoots so that the remaining fruit ripens better.
