Egg Plant (Green)
Eggplant Green Seeds
Eggplant, known as එල බටු, is a popular vegetable in Sri Lanka, valued for its soft texture and mild flavor. The Green variety produces smooth, light green, medium-sized fruits with a tender interior, making it ideal for curries, stir-fries, deep frying, and traditional Sri Lankan dishes. Rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, this variety is a great addition to a healthy diet.
How to Grow Eggplant Green :
1. Soil Preparation – Use fertile, well-draining soil enriched with compost or organic fertilizer.
2. Sowing Seeds – Start seeds in a nursery tray/pot or directly in soil, planting them ¼ inch deep.
3. Transplanting – Once seedlings develop 4-5 true leaves, transplant them to a sunny location with at least 2 feet of spacing between plants.
4. Watering – Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged; water regularly during dry periods.
5. Sunlight & Care – Requires full sun (6-8 hours daily) and occasional fertilization for better yield. Use staking for plant support if needed.
Harvest Time:
Eggplant Green is ready for harvest within 60-75 days after planting. Pick the fruits when they are firm and about 4-6 inches in size for the best taste and texture.
