General Aubergine Growing Tips

• Sow the aubergine seeds in cell trays and place in a warm position (ideally a heated propagator). Once the seedlings are through transfer to a warm, but light position to prevent the plants becoming leggy.
• Grow on till the plants are considered large enough to pot on into a 9cm pot. Again keep in a warm and light position for a couple of weeks to get them established. As they fill the pot gradually harden the plants off to prepare them for planting out.
• Transfer the aubergine plants to 30cm (12in) pots of good compost in April (if you have a heated greenhouse) or early May (for a unheated greenhouse). Aubergines can also be grown in the ground, spacing 60cm (2ft) apart. Stake the plants as they grow.
• Remove the growing point when plants are 40cm (16in) high to encourage plant to bush out.
• Water regularly and feed every 2 weeks, move over to a tomato fertiliser once the first fruits have set.
• Misting the foliage down with warm water will deter red spider mite and to help flower set.
• Aphids and Whitefly may be a problem, use of SB Plant Invigorator will usually sort that out.
