Growing on Solanum quitoense
Happy to have received Solanum quitoense. I have grown them in the past but only as a larger plant. My question is about growing on from the plug plant I received. My issue is I’m away in holiday for 5 weeks so need to ensure I leave the plant in a situation where it can survive. My adult daughter will water.
Right now it’s in a larger pot in a free draining compost. Do I leave it on a heated propagator with no lid to ensure warmth or just in a bright shady unheated conservatory. How much heat does a very young plant need, a litter extra? They seem to grow at high altitudes so I don’t want to cook it but it might need the little extra heat to develop strong roots.
TIA Diane

Hi,
They won’t need any additional heat at this time of year if you have them in a greenhouse or sunny windowsill. I would keep them in partial shade to avoid sun damage and soil drying out. In 5 weeks time they will have grown considerably! 😁🌱

Thanks for that info. They are in a shady spot next to the propagator so best of both worlds subject to watering. I think I will ring my daughter.
