🪴 How To Grow Purple Long Brinjal Plant

Long Purple Brinjal is a heat-loving vegetable. It is typically grown by transplanting seedlings rather than direct sowing into grow bags or containers. Brinjal seeds germinate best in a temperature range of 18-32°C.

🌱 Seeds Sowing Method

• Use a seedling tray or small pot (up to 8 cm deep).
  
• Fill it with coco peat or a similar growing medium.
  
• Sow 2 seeds per cell, about 0.5 cm deep.
  
• Avoid deep sowing – seeds are small.
  
• Keep the tray in a sunny location and water gently using a spray pump.
  
• Seeds will germinate within 07-14 days.

🌿 Transplanting Tips

After 4 weeks, or once the seedling reaches 12–15 cm in height, transplant them into a large grow bag or pot (30–45 cm deep and wide) filled with rich organic soil.

🧪 Fertilizer Application
Purple Long Brinjal is a heavy feeder.

• Use vermicompost, cow manure, or neem cake once per month.
  
• Add lime to the soil for calcium enrichment.
  
• Apply fertilizer during the active growth phase.

🌞 Plant Care Tips

• ☀️ Sunlight: Needs 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
  
• 💧 Watering: Maintain moist (not soggy) soil.
  
• 🌱 Soil: Well-drained sandy soil with pH 6.0–6.8.
