This heat-loving variety requires consistent watering to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulching around the plant helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Use a balanced fertilizer or one slightly higher in phosphorus and potassium to encourage flowering and fruit production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511772021022,"sku":"EG127","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/eggplant_saitama_ao_daimaru.jpg?v=1782404877","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.com\/products\/eggplant-saitama-ao-daimaru","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
