Eggplant germination question
Zootal said:
I have 40 pots seeded with eggplants. I have 8 different types, 5 pots of
each. It's been~10 days, and right now 3 of the 8 types are at 100%
germination. IE 3 of the 8 varieties are all up, and none of the others have
come up. Are eggplants particular about germinating conditions? At what
point do I give up, try to figure out why they didn't come up, and reseed?
Give them another 7-10 days before you give up. Consider giving them
some more warmth if your soil temperature is less than ~70F (20C).
Is the seed fresher for the varieties that are sprouted than for those that
lag behind? Or was there a possible differential in temperature between
those that sprouted and those that haven't (yet)?
