I like the article This plant in the summer assumes a purple colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 2 m high. It keeps its leaves in the winter. They tend to develop like erect small trees. The Solanum rantonnetii develops like a shrub. Fertilization Solanum rantonnetii
For a balanced growth let’s remember to mix some organic fertilizer to the soil around the plant, in the spring or in autumn; it’s also possible to use a, slow release granular fertilizer, to be added every 3-4 months. Exposure Solanum rantonnetii
For a correct development of the plant we suggest avoiding exposure to late freezings; let's grow it in a covered place, locating it outside only in late spring. For a balanced development, it is best to position the The Solanum rantonnetii in a place where it is exposed to at least a few hours of direct sunlight.To allow these plants to develop as well as possible, it is best to locate them near a wall, a gate or an appropriate grate. Watering Solanum rantonnetii
We suggest watering these plants only from time to time, but we must remember to wet the soil deeply using 1-2 buckets of water every 2-3 weeks . We should remember that the climber shrubs are very vigorous, and sometimes need very abundant watering. Treatments Solanum rantonnetii
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden. Soil Solanum rantonnetii
Cultivate these climbers in a soft and deep soil with an elevated drainage.
