Aubergine and Pepper Plant

Question

I am trying to grow my own pepper and aubergine plant indoors. The seeds have germinated and I have planted them in small pot. A tiny leaf has come through, and I was wondering how long, on average, do they take to grow until big enough to plant outdoors in a big pot? Is there anything I could do to speed up the growth?

Answer 1

Gentle bottom heat (say like the top of your fridge or similar appliance) will speed their growth up. They are large enough to transplant when they have at least 2 sets for true leaves, though some people wait longer than that to transplant so that they are easier to handle.
