How to grow eggplant on the balcony

Eggplant is a thermophilic crop with high temperature resistance, and the suitable temperature for fruiting is 25 ~ 30℃. Not sensitive to the length of photoperiod, as long as the temperature is suitable, it can blossom and bear fruit from spring to autumn, which is very suitable for balcony planting. We can eat such vegetables all the year round.

Open field cultivation is the main method. In the Yangtze River valley, seedlings are planted in seedbeds from winter to early spring, while in the northern provinces, seedlings are planted in hotbeds or sunny beds in early spring.

Due to the long fruiting period of eggplant, in addition to adequate base fertilizer, it is also required to topdress for many times (mainly nitrogen fertilizer, appropriately increasing phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer).
