Why are all the flowers falling off my aubergine plants? I have two healthy plants, about 15" tall in 8/10" pots, in the sun room. They are watered regularly, not let dry out, not suffering from aphids and look very healthy. However, whenever the purple flowers form, they soon fall off without a fruit forming.
This fruit is also known as Egg Plant.

they are not getting pollinated so the flower drops off with out fruit forming. when the next flower opens take a small paint brush and collect pollen from one flower and dust it onto another flower. The air might also be too dry so try misting the flowers with water.
