Eggplant is a dish that is welcomed by many people. How can we grow eggplant plants at home and produce many fruits?
Here are 7 common mistakes when growing eggplants for beginners to avoid.
1. Poor soil preparation:
Eggplants need loose, nutritious, well-drained soil.
If the soil is not suitable, the plant will be stunted and easily die.
You should fertilize thoroughly before planting with decomposed manure, phosphate and potassium fertilizers.

2. Planting eggplant at the wrong time:
Eggplant is a warm-loving plant, suitable for planting in spring-summer (February-April) or early fall (August-October).
Planting eggplant in the cold season will cause the plant to grow slowly and be susceptible to disease.
3. Improper watering:
Eggplants need to be watered regularly, but should not be watered too much and cause waterlogging.
You should water in the early morning or late afternoon, avoid watering in the hot afternoon sun.
4. Improper fertilization:
Eggplants need adequate fertilization, especially during the flowering and fruiting stages.
Organic fertilizer should be applied in combination with NPK fertilizer according to the instructions on the packaging.
5. Improper pruning techniques:
Branches need to be pruned regularly to create a canopy for the tree, help the tree breathe and concentrate nutrients to feed the fruit.
Old branches, overhanging branches, and branches growing inward should be pruned.
6. Untimely pest control:
Eggplant is susceptible to a number of pests such as aphids, fruit borers, and soft rot.
It is necessary to regularly check plants and spray preventive chemicals promptly when detecting signs of disease.
7. Harvesting fruit at the wrong time:
Eggplants should be harvested when the fruit is old, the skin is shiny, and turns dark purple.
You should harvest in the early morning or late afternoon, avoid harvesting in hot weather.
