Description:
White Eggplant, a member of the Solanaceae family, is a tropical plant native to Southeast Asia. Known for its vibrant, golden-yellow fruits, White Eggplant is not only a striking ornamental plant but also a versatile one for the garden. 🌟 Before reaching full maturity, its fruit is white, turning to a golden hue as it ripens, adding a unique touch to any garden or balcony. It is often grown for its aesthetic appeal, either in pots or flowerbeds, and is also used in traditional medicine and cuisine. 🍽️

The plant’s compact size, small fruits, and brilliant color make it an excellent choice for ornamental purposes. The immature white fruit is tender and can be harvested for culinary use, ideal for salads 🥗, stir-fries 🍳, or pickling 🥒. Once fully ripe and golden, however, the texture becomes tougher and less suitable for eating.

Plant Care Tips:

• Planting Season: Early spring (March indoors or May outdoors in a seedbed). 🌱
• Germination Temperature: 22-30°C (72-86°F) 🌡️
• Germination Time: 7-14 days ⏳
• Seed Preparation: Soak seeds in warm water for 6-8 hours before sowing. 💧
• Sowing Depth: Lightly cover seeds with 0.4 cm (0.2 inches) of soil.
• Transplanting: After 4 true leaves appear, transplant seedlings into containers or garden beds when they reach 10-12 cm (4-5 inches) in height. 🌿

Soil Requirements:
White Eggplant prefers fertile, well-draining soil with high moisture content. It thrives in rich, organic matter, ensuring strong growth and beautiful fruit development. 🌱

Sunlight: While not highly sensitive to light duration, adequate sunlight is still necessary for fruit development. Ensure the plant gets full sun for the best yields. 🌞

Nutritional Value:
The immature fruit is tender and tasty, perfect for various dishes. It's known for its refreshing and mild taste, making it a healthy addition to your meals. 🥒🍴 When fully ripe, its golden fruit offers high nutritional value but is best suited for ornamental purposes.

Ideal for:

• Container gardening 🪴
