Does eggplant prefer the sun or the shade? Can it be grown without sunlight?

Does eggplant prefer shade or sun?

Eggplant is a sun-loving plant and has high requirements for light during its growth process. If it lacks sunlight for a long time, it will make it difficult for flower buds to differentiate, which can easily cause excessive growth and yellow leaves. The growth and development of seedlings will be relatively slow, which will directly affect the yield.

When the light conditions are suitable, the growth rate of eggplant is relatively fast, the flower buds are of good quality, the fruit yield is high, and the color is good.

Do eggplants like sunlight?

Eggplant likes sunlight, but its growth will stop in a high temperature and exposure environment. Eggplant is a sun-loving plant, and plants need to photosynthesize to produce organic matter. Therefore, eggplant has high requirements for the duration and intensity of light during its growth. As long as the sunshine time is long and the sunlight intensity is high, eggplant can grow and develop luxuriantly, the fruit yield will increase, and the quality of the eggplant can be guaranteed.

Is eggplant shade tolerant?

Eggplant is not shade-tolerant and grows better in sufficient sunlight. If there is insufficient sunlight, the flower buds of the eggplant will be difficult to differentiate, causing the eggplant to stop growing. Therefore, eggplant cannot be grown indoors and is only suitable for planting in places with sufficient sunlight such as balconies.
