How to Pollinate Eggplant for a Better Yield!

[@ritafries483]

Your input was extremely helpful thanks for the video

[@sktbasu]

You spotted a nice plant. They are deep rooted abs hold soil strongly. Looks beautiful when the entire stand is in bloom. Furthermore, they attract a wide diversity of pollinator insects like bees, butterflies

[@amritaseenuth6121]

Will try your method just now thank you 🙏

[@Rayblondie]

Thank you. Our climate may not be quite hot enough to leave the plant outside for the bees so pollinating with a brush will do the trick.

[@Negri1124]

Thxs for sharing. I am going into my garden to do some pollinating.😊

[@eljardinperdido]

I’ve been getting more than I can harvest ever since I started force pollinating them. Good luck!

[@nerrylennon1709]

Thanks so much for the details

[@LadyAdelinda]

Thank you! After several days of rain after Hurricane Isaias my garden is looking sad..I hv a very big garden, too. I'm in need of pollinating everything.. squash several varieties, tomatoes, sunflower, cucumber...

Hi, This is my first time growing Eggplants (2). how many days after the blossom appears before you can pollinate the flower. I don't see pollen transferred to the pistol. I used a soft paint brush yesterday and the pistil is still green. Should i have seen pollen on the pistol yesterday or this morning?

[@eljardinperdido]

If the blossoms are opened up, they should be ready. I just take one and distribute the pollen throughout

[@Phoneladie]

@@eljardinperdido Thank you for responding to my question. I'll try again tomorrow after the rain.

[@margaretdrake9012]

Excellent video. Thank you!

[@cfantasticseeallgood]

How many times do you pollinate one flower?

[@eljardinperdido]

I just do it periodically as I see new flowers. Maybe every few days.

[@simplediary6123]

I have problem trying to get the long-styled pistil pollinated. Tried with hand yet not successful. What is wrong ? Please advise. Video as below long-style pistil Eggplant to give you a glimpse on the long style pistil flowers @ Please help.. Thanks

[@eljardinperdido]

Maybe try a paint brush? Also, it may be too cold for them to produce right now...

[@simplediary6123]

I am living in the tropics. At last! It is setting fruits now.. But I just got one to set fruit. This is the first time I got myself an egg plant. It's how I planted it. Reason of not setting fruits is do to stress. In future I will plant in a bigger pot. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnTVgHV6rqyigKM

[@memorytaste]

helo how many times do you pollinate in 1 week?

[@eljardinperdido]

Usually the flowers are open at the same time. I’d maybe go through them once a week. Keep in mind with colder temperatures this time of year the blossoms may get too damaged to produce fruit until spring.

[@simonehannaf]

I have no pollen in my flower. what should I do besides rooting it up

[@eljardinperdido]

Could be timing. They may be old flowers. Just keep your eye on them

[@nighatshariff683]

What do I do my eggplant got start flower then they foldown where I am going wrong

[@eljardinperdido]

Could be that they're not being pollinated. It can be tricky because even when the fruit is successfully pollinated, the blossom will eventually fall off. If you're not getting any fruit at all, try this hand pollinating method. Make sure you are using fresh flowers. Older flowers will not pollinate well, and will also eventually fall off. Sometimes strong winds, shock, or harsh weather can contribute to this as well.

[@anjelicadennis5055]

I don’t see any sticky pollen is it still possible that it’s transferring something that I just cannot see?

[@eljardinperdido]

Pollen itself is microscopic. You’re seeing the accumulation of it when you can physically see it.

[@anjelicadennis5055]

El Jardin Perdido thank you for your reply, and thank you for this video post ☺️

[@FazlinaAzwar]

Nice video

[@eljardinperdido]

Thank you!

[@eswaribalan164]

Are there male and female flowers?

[@eljardinperdido]

They're both. That's why you remove the stigma (male part) to paint the female pollen onto the other stigmas....

[@uncommonlolis5122]

That helped me in studies and also that looked like as if flowers were kissing 😂

[@eljardinperdido]

[@haideeguerrero623]

My eggplants flowers were expired. Not bearing fruits. what should i do .?

[@eljardinperdido]

I have just run into the same problem. My eggplant is about 2-3 years old and has officially stopped setting fruit. Rip it out and start some new plants.. I guess if they don't freeze, they can be considered perennials, but I suppose they still eventually have an expiration date.

[@hallamharris5024]

what is that plant in the background looking like cabbage

[@eljardinperdido]

Collard greens. Georgia variety I believe...

[@STaRBoY-sn9cm]

Im so confused. Other videos about eggplant pollination sa its already a perfect flower that a flower already has both male and female parts so you just have to rub thr side of the center flower to the center part. Other videos says the are 2 separate flowers male and female so you would have to rub the center of a flower to the other flower. 😓

[@eljardinperdido]

Perhaps it depends on the variety. Basically, yes. You need to rub the male and female parts together one way or another. Depends how much the stigma protrudes, I suppose...

[@STaRBoY-sn9cm]

@@eljardinperdido ah yes probably it, the variety. I really appreciate that. Much Thanks 👊😍
