Welcome, Madre.
Here is a link to a discussion on these plants we have had before.
And these you would plant and watch grow like almost any of your other seeds. You can also research eggplant here on the site for more growing clues. Good luck!

Hola mommadre! I used to grow these plants a few years ago. They were lots of fun, and many people who saw mine really thought they were real eggs growing on a plant! Too funny!

Here are a bunch of links to previous threads here on the forums about the care and growing of these plants with pictures. Many of us here on the forums were growing them at the time, and compared how they were doing! Some of these threads have a few pages to them, so be sure to check them all out.
