Brinjals are becoming green

Post by cyberkings »

My brinjals are becoming green after as they are growing bigger. They were purple when they were very small. I don't know what happening so please guide me on it.

I have seen exactly the same green brinjals (egg plants) in grocery stores in Canada. I think they are called Thai green egg-plants. The whites patches at the bottom are normal.

Enjoy the green ones as well :-)

They are maturing early which can be due to various reason like stress from heat, low watering, compact soil, high salt content in soil etc etc... you need some tilling i.e. godee around the plants and add some compost or manure.. hope it helps.. :)

Thanks a lot for the advice. I think I should harvest the ones which are now green and take care of the new ones according to your suggestions.

Regards
