Do you need more than one eggplant in your garden for fertilization?

Eggplants are self-pollinating. This means that a single eggplant plant can produce fruit without needing another plant for pollination. So, you don't need more than one eggplant plant for fertilization.

However, having multiple plants can offer some benefits:

* Increased yield: More plants mean more flowers and potentially more fruit.

* Cross-pollination: While eggplants are self-pollinating, they can sometimes cross-pollinate with other varieties, leading to interesting hybrids.

* Improved pest control: Multiple plants can attract more beneficial insects that help control pests.

Ultimately, the decision of how many eggplant plants to grow depends on your space, desired yield, and personal preferences.
