🌿 How to Grow Purple Brinjal Plants

Purple brinjal is a heat-loving vegetable that is best grown through transplanting rather than direct sowing. Start seeds in a seedling tray or small pot (up to 8 cm deep) and transplant into a final container or grow bag (30–45 cm deep and wide) with proper drainage holes.

Ideal germination temperature: 15–30°C

🌱 Purple Brinjal Seeds Sowing Method

• Fill the tray or pot with coco peat or seed-starting mix.
  
• Sow 2 seeds per cell at a shallow depth of 0.5 cm.
  
• Avoid deep sowing as seeds are small.
  
• Place the tray in a sunny, warm location (avoid direct sunlight until germination).
  
• Water gently using a spray bottle to keep the soil moist.
  
• Seeds germinate in 7-14 days.
  

🌿 Transplanting Brinjal Seedlings

After 2–3 weeks, when seedlings reach 8–15 cm height, transplant them into large pots or grow bags. Choose a sunny location for best results.

Brinjal is a heavy feeder and needs calcium-rich soil.

• Use organic fertilizers like vermicompost, cow manure, or neem cake once a month.
