How much water should you give eggplant and cherry plants?

I am planting an eggplant and cherry plant in my backyard, and I want to know the average amount of water I should give the plants. I fill a whole cooking pot all the way to the top and give my plants that much water in the morning and night.

Am I over watering my plants? Or do they need more water?

You should water your eggplants weekly. Eggplants need an inch of water each week. Be mindful of the rainfall in your area and water accordingly.

  1. Both species do well with about an inch of rainfall a week… I’m guessing you’re talking about a cherry tomato plant, not a cherry tree.

    Don’t know what size of pot you’re using, nor the size of the plants, but the plants should not be wilted at all shortly after the sun goes down, and really shouldn’t even be wilting much in the heat of the day.
