Solanum carolinense aka Carolina Horsenettle

Caring for Carolina Horsenettle is a breeze, as it is highly adaptable and forgiving to minor neglect.

Carolina Horsenettle should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Carolina Horsenettle loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Carolina Horsenettle prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

During the cold period, it is common for Carolina Horsenettle to go dormant, resulting in a slowdown of growth. To accommodate this, waterings should be spaced out more.

Carolina Horsenettle is poisonous if ingested. We suggest keeping this plant out of reach if you have children, cats, or dogs in the home.

The Carolina Horsenettle does not need extra humidity. Plants primarily absorb water through their root system, making soil watering the best way to provide humidity to your plants.
