DETAILS
Onderhoudsinstructies
Eggplants require consistent watering to keep the soil evenly moist. They thrive in direct bright light and need at least six hours of sunlight daily. Maintain moderate temperatures and humidity levels for optimal growth. Regular monitoring for pests and diseases is essential.Oogst
Eggplants (Solanum melongena) should be harvested when the fruit is firm and glossy, typically 16-24 weeks after planting, depending on the variety and growing conditions. The best time to harvest is when the fruit has reached its mature size but before the skin becomes dull or the seeds inside turn brown. Use a sharp knife or pruning shears to cut the fruit from the plant, leaving a small portion of the stem attached. Handle the fruit carefully to avoid bruising, and harvest regularly to encourage continuous production.Bodem
Eggplants prefer well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Ensure the soil is rich in organic matter to support healthy growth. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10. Fertilize the plant every two weeks during the growing season to promote healthy fruit development.Verpotten
Repot eggplants when they outgrow their containers, typically once a year. Choose a larger pot with good drainage and fresh potting mix. Handle the roots carefully to avoid damage.Voortplanting
Propagate eggplants through seeds. Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed.Snoeien
Prune eggplants to remove any damaged or diseased leaves and to encourage bushier growth. Regular pruning helps improve air circulation and light penetration, which can enhance fruit production.Toxiciteit
Eggplants contain solanine, which is toxic to pets and humans if ingested in large quantities. The highest concentration of solanine is found in the leaves and unripe fruit. Handle with care and keep away from pets and children.Aanvullend
Mulching around the base of the plant can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Regularly check for common pests like aphids and spider mites, and treat infestations promptly to prevent damage.BRENG EEN REVOLUTIE TEWEEG IN UW PLANTENVERZORGING
