Not everyone succeeds in getting an eggplant harvest the first time.
This is because the seedlings of these vegetables are really more demanding and intolerant of mistakes.
Together with the expert of the online publication TUT NOVOSTI, scientist agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , we figure out how to bring eggplant seedlings back to life.
Typical mistakes
If the seedlings do not grow, the reason lies in the soil, temperature or nutrition. Also, the plant roots may already be cramped in the pot and it is time to do transshipment.
If the leaves of the seedlings curl, it means that the air in the apartment is too dry or there is not enough moisture in the soil. This is also indicated by wilting leaves, which can also wither due to over-watering.
Spots on the leaves indicate that the seedlings do not like too acidic soil, as well as an excess of plants. In addition, it cannot be ruled out that the spots are caused by pests.
If the seedlings stretch out, then the plants simply do not have enough light.
