I bought an aubergine plant from a garden centre which looked very healthy. I am also growing from seed, but just in case I bought this plant.

It is in a polytunnel and has over the last few days the leaves have started to go yellow and limp and dropping off. Have I been watering too much in this very hot weather.

Sight unseen, I'd go for lack of water. Cheers, Tony.

I read somewhere the other day that aubergine & pepper seedlings don't need as much water as tomatoes so perhaps you have been over-watering. Possibly all the nutrition has now been leached out of the compost?
