To ensure successful cultivation of Little Fingers Eggplant, follow these simple tips:

1. Climate and Soil Requirements

This variety thrives in warm climates with temperatures ranging between 70-90°F (21-32°C). It prefers well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Ensure the soil has a pH level between 5.8 and 6.5 for optimal growth.

3. Planting and Watering

Sow the seeds or transplant seedlings after the last frost date in your area. Space the plants about 18 inches apart to allow proper air circulation. Ensure consistent soil moisture but avoid overwatering, as excess water can lead to root rot.

4. Fertilization and Maintenance

Regularly fertilize the plants with a balanced organic fertilizer to promote healthy growth. Monitor for pests and diseases, and take appropriate measures to protect your plants.
