Ciao all,

I never got any responses on this, so I went ahead and experimented with my decapitated eggplant and stuck it in a glass of water along with my poor Opalka sucker to replace the one that was eaten by pill bugs. The Opalka quickly outpaced the Casper Eggplant, but after 2 weeks, Casper finally grew 1" roots and is now potted up in a 1 gal container. I'm going to leave him in there until he gets big and stocky so he can withstand the inevitable bug damage. I just thought you all might like to have this information in case you ever do want to propagate your eggplants from cuttings. It works, you just need to be more patient than with tomatoes.
