  • Droopy aubergine, help!!

    On top of a very 'adventurous' day I think I may have killed off one of my aubergines. It is planted in a long tom pot with added manure. I have been watering it regularly and check that the soil isn't too dry or too wet. I have also been feeding it once a week with tom feed when it started to produce flowers but now one by one the leaves seem to be drooping. There is still some new growth above this but the whole plant just doesn't look too good
    Any ideas?

    Not really - sorry!
    Mine are neglected in comparison - just about fed once a week, iffy watering and fairly iffy light (under staging in greenhouse)
    Maybe just keep an eye on it and keep hoping?
    Is it getting a lot of sun?

      If the lower leaves are wilting yellow and processing upwards could it be "verticillium wilt", most often associated with tomatoes but can affect other similar crops? If so, doesn't necessarily kill the plant but is likely to inhibit any crop... Remedy is next year to give the pots a good going over and use fresh soil/compost that hasn't been used for toms as that is possible source...
