| So I bought an eggplant starter less than a week agao that for some reason became droopy over night. It has been kept inside in the sunshine and doesn't appear to be over watered. Any suggestions? |

| Are the plants becoming root bound? |

| That would be my best guess - given the size of the leaves it is rootbound and in need of water. What is there 6 or 9 plants in that small container or cell pack? |

| I think you are right. Should I just re pot the plant for now? I think it is way too early to plant outdoors here in MA. |

| There is one plant per cell, in a 4 cell pack. 1 of 3 is doing fine. There is another cell pack that is behind it that is thriving so it looks like there are more. |

| Hmmm sure looks like more than 4 in there but yes if you can't plant it outside yet then you will have to transplant them into individual pots. At that size I'd use at least 1/2 gallon pots each. Dave |
