Growing Eggplants in the Small Pot - Food Variety 41

Sunday, July 19, 2026
We know the eggplants come from warm regions, so, they should grow well in our "hot" climate state. 


Fig 01 - Flower of eggplant.

First, just for "experiment" purposes, we bought a very little plant from the Walmart Neighborhood nursery, it is a kind of a starter or a transplant plant, and then we transfer it in our little pot.

Like to other our potted plants:
- we water them almost every day 
- and give them fertilizer at least once a week.

After several weeks, we saw surprising thing that is a beautiful flower. Purple color. Never seen before.

  4. I knew that eggplants have these flowers but I never owned an eggplant. In Czech we call them "lilek".

  5. An eggplant flower is usually purple, lilac, pink, or white, depending on the variety. The flower prepares the plant to produce seeds and fruit. Do you have flowers but see no fruit on your eggplant? In 9 out of 10 cases, this is due to a lack of pollination. Eggplants are self-pollinating, but sometimes they need a little nudge to get the pollen to the right spot. So give it a little tap to get it going. In the last photo, I see an overgrowth of it, and it is time to transplant them over the pots into the ground or into a much larger pot.
