why eggplant flowers fall off/5 reasons and fixes for eggplant blossom drop

In this video I will be explaining why eggplant blossoms fall off of your eggplants. I will also be discussing why even though the flower on the eggplant falls off or looks dead there is still a good chance you can get an eggplant fruit. I will also be talking about blossom end rot on eggplants and how to prevent it and treat it. I will also be talking about how to water and care for your eggplants. I will be giving an entire update on how the eggplants are doing.

👉🏼5 Reasons Why Your Eggplant Blossoms Are Falling Off

1️⃣Failure to Self-Pollinate
2️⃣Too Much Water – Or Too Little
3️⃣Stressful Temperatures
4️⃣Planting Too Late – Or Too Early
5️⃣Over- or Under-Fertilization

1. Failure to Self-Pollinate
Maybe the wind never blew briskly enough to dislodge pollen from the anthers. Or maybe bees never landed on the anthers and buzzed the pollen out of its hiding place.
Or maybe the reasons are trickier. If the humidity in your area is high, the pollen might have turned sticky, making it difficult for it to travel from the anthers to the stigma regardless of the presence of wind or bees.
For whatever reason, your blossoms are dropping without producing fruit, and it’s making you frustrated.
Thankfully, there’s plenty you can do to help bring pollination about if you notice that blossoms are falling off without producing any fruit.
The easiest way to aid pollination is to tap the top of each flower several times, essentially recreating the work a strong wind would do.
Or, you can gently rub the anthers and stigma with a clean paintbrush, traveling from flower to flower to redistribute the pollen.
Within a few days, your newly pollinated blossoms should give way to tiny baby eggplants.



2. Too Much Water – Or Too Little
Stress is at the root of many of an eggplant’s problems. (Not so different from us!)
When it comes to water, aubergines like to receive at least one deep, slow watering once a week. Soil should never dry out completely, so if you poke your finger an inch down into the soil a few days after watering and it feels bone dry, it’s past time to water again.

Conversely, if you overwater the plant and it’s constantly left in standing water, that’s going to negatively affect blossom development, too. Eggplants are not fans of wet feet, or oversaturated soil.
But when you take care to water it just the right amount, checking the soil moisture often, you should be able to keep it happy.


3. Stressful Temperatures
When it comes to growing aubergines, the ideal growing temperatures fall within a range of 70 to 95°F during the day and 55 to 70°F at night. Anything outside of this range can stress the plant and cause blossoms to drop.
The best way to prevent unpleasant surprises in this department is to keep an eye on the forecast. Check your weather app every day.
If you see a couple days of temperatures below 70°F during the day and 55°F at night are predicted, add an extra two-inch layer of organic mulch around each eggplant.


4.Planting Too Late – Or Too Early

Eggplants take a long time to mature – typically between 100 and 120 days after germination.
Starting seeds indoors eight to 10 weeks before your area’s average last frost date is recommended in order to ensure success.




5. Over- or Under-Fertilization
When your plant is a seedling, you’ll want to provide it with a balanced vegetable fertilizer about once a month according to package instructions. I always use a 5-5-5 (NPK) at the beginning.

But as soon as the first blossoms appear, switch away from this general-purpose fertilizer. At this point, your plant needs less nitrogen, and too much of this nutrient can prevent flowers from developing.
Don’t get me wrong: nitrogen is an essential plant nutrient that is definitely necessary during the first phase of an eggplant’s life in particular. It’s essential for leaf production.
