Solanum carolinense aka Carolina Horsenettle

Solanum carolinense, also known as the Carolina horsenettle, is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Solanaceae family. Although native to the southeastern United States, its range has expanded throughout much of temperate North America, and it is considered an invasive species in parts of Europe, Asia, and Australia. The stem and undersides of larger leaf veins are covered with prickles, while common names for this plant include radical weed, sand brier or briar, bull nettle, tread-softly, Solanum mammosum ("apple of Sodom"), devil's tomato, and wild tomato. While Carolina horsenettle is a rare houseplant, it requires regular watering and thrives best in long-lasting, direct light within a foot of a window. It prefers well-draining soil and can benefit from gentle, organic fertilizer during the peak growing season. This species belongs to the Solanum genus and is native to East Canada, Northern Mexico, and Haiti.
