I like growing some flowers, plants, or other vegetables on the balcony. Flowers and plants tend to die, and you only get to look at them for a moment, but vegetables are different, at least you can still eat them! Just recently, a gardening enthusiast grew an egg on the balcony, and it can even be eaten. What is going on here?

What is this?

Yes, it is exactly this! The white egg eggplant. Compared with the egg eggplant sold in supermarkets, and even green eggplants, doesn't this white one have even higher ornamental value!

This is an improved eggplant variety that can be grown as a potted ornamental plant. It blooms in summer, sets fruit in autumn, and the fruit turns yellow when ripe.

Planting method

This white eggplant is probably only sold as seeds now, and Yatou could only find seeds! The steps are similar to growing vegetables. Prepare a few foam boxes and make a few ventilation holes in the bottom in advance.

Seed soaking

Soak the purchased seeds in water for about 8 hours to promote germination!

Sowing

Put loose, breathable soil into the foam box, and mix a small amount of organic fertilizer into the bottom. Sprinkle the soaked seeds on the surface of the soil, and cover with a thin layer of soil. Place it on the balcony, and avoid direct sun exposure before the seedlings emerge! Spray water in time to keep it moist! In about one week, small seedlings will grow!

Care and harvest

The most suitable growing temperature for white egg eggplant is around 20°C. Make sure there is plenty of light, but do not expose it to direct sun. Watering about once a week is enough!
