Ongoing care:

• It can help to put water next to them if you can as aubergine likes high humidity. 
• Encourage side shoots by nipping out the main stem when about 25cm tall.
• Once the first fruit has set, feed plants every week or two with a liquid feed high in potassium such as Vinasse Tomato and Plant Food.
• This variety has upright growth and may require support.
