    Aubergine problem

    I have 3 aubergines growing in an unheated greenhouse. They were looking very healthy and have begun to produce buds. I have been giving them a very weak dose of liquid growmore in their water.
    However today I noticed that some leaves had become soft and floppy. This morning was dull and drizzly and there was a lot of condensation in the greenhouse. Could this be the cause?
    Any suggestions for cause and cure would be very welcome.

    Did it get too cold for them overnight? Mine went positively floopy when they got too cold. I thought I had killed them!

        I don't think it has been too cold here in Cornwall. Minimum last night was 10 celsius

            They have been fine over the past few weeks with temperatures down to 6 c five days ago
            Only one or two leaves seem to be affected. Do you think they will recover if temps keep up from now on ?

              How damp have they been? Perhaps too wet and cold?

              Last year for the first time we lost two of ours mid-season to some sort of virus(?) they went all floppy and died off.

                I think perhaps you're right. It has been a poor week. I'll have to keep up ventilation and hope it's not too cold overnight. Keeping fingers crossed it's not a virus
