Sow eggplant seeds in small pots 1/4 inch deep. Water the seeds well and make sure they remain moist. You can also cover the pots with plastic. This will allow you to monitor the moisture in the seeds. If you do not see moisture on the plastic then it is time to add more water. Usually, it will take 7 to 14 days for the seeds to germinate. Once, they have germinated remove the plastic cover and place your pot in sun light.
