New Zealand nightshade I like the article

Fertilize New Zealand nightshade
Shrubs develop new shoots and prepare their flowers during the spring period, therefore we must remember, by the end of the winter, to give it a good dose of humus or mature manure, or granular slow release fertilizer, to be added to the soil at the foot of the plant. During the spring we can choose a fertilizer rich in nitrogen and potassium, to mix with the irrigating water, every 20-25 days.

Water New Zealand nightshadeTenere Umido
Let's wet abundantly with about 1-2 buckets of water , acting when the soil is pretty dry; during this period of the year we can water even every 2-3 weeks . If we want to grow these plants in a vase, we should water them a bit more often, compared to plants cultivated in the ground; Every 2-3 years we should renew the substratum in the vase, or enrich with organic amender.

Light New Zealand nightshadeSole pieno
To prevent damage caused by the cold temperatures, during the months with definately harsh minimum temperatures, we can protect the shrubs by covering the soil around the stem with straw or dry leaves. We suggest to position the The New Zealand nightshade in a sunny spot at least a few hours a day.We advise cultivating the The New Zealand nightshade outdoors, since it doesn't fear cold temperatures.

Pests New Zealand nightshade
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Mold New Zealand nightshade
These plants are planted in a soft, but quite heavy, and not excessively drained soil.
