eggplant flowers falling off

Hi there,

I hope everyone is doing well.
I was wondering whether everything is fine with my eggplant.
The flowers have been falling off after a couple of days of blooming. It is getting enough water and the eggplants are still growing and the leaves are also doing very well. I wonder whether I should worry since the flowers do happen to fall off very quickly.

Looking forward to hear from you

 

That could be a sign of over watering. Or the soil hasn't got good drainage perhaps...

Are your eggplants in containers (flowerpots), or are you growing them in the ground?

Anyway without seeing the pictures, over watering is the only thing I can think of.

Of course, there are other pests and funguses too which can cause this. But let's rule out over watering first.

 

Did you have lots of rain. My first thought is too wet or maybe too cold in the nights.

 

or they aren't getting pollinated... unpollinated flowers will drop off.

 

@carolyn. You are right. The net has loads of instructions and videos on how to pollinate aubergines. Too cold, or sometimes in polytunnels, there may be a lack of insect pollinators. Try hand pollination and see what happens.

 

Soft artists brush from flower to flower and plant to plant should take care of the pollination problem ! But early in the season is not unusual to lose flowers !
