Care information

*Solanum evolvulifolium* is a small vining or scandent shrub in the Solanaceae family, native to Central and South America. It’s characterized by its thin, twining stems and small, elliptic to lanceolate leaves with a soft, slightly velvety surface. This species often climbs through surrounding vegetation using its flexible branches rather than tendrils or hooks. The foliage is typically bright to medium green, and the plant produces small star-shaped flowers followed by small berries typical of the *Solanum* genus.

**Light Requirements:** Bright, indirect light to partial sun.
**Humidity Requirements:** Moderate to high, 60–85%. Performs best in humid tropical conditions.
**Temperature Range:** 65–85°F (18–29°C). Avoid prolonged exposure below 60°F (16°C).
**Growth Habit:** Twining or scrambling vine with small, elliptic leaves. Can form a dense, matted structure over time.
**Soil:** Moist, well-draining mix with organic matter. Prefers consistent moisture but not waterlogging.
**pH:** Slightly acidic to neutral, 6.0–7.0.
**Size:** Leaves around 2–4 cm; stems can extend several meters when given support.

Plant Details
Airflow
High — Requires constant active ventilation. These plants are extremely sensitive to high humidity unless accompanied by significant, steady air movement to mimic their native breezy habitats.
Family
Solanaceae
Growth strategy
Terrestrial
Humidity
40–60%
Lighting
Direct — High-energy plants that require full sun exposure or very close proximity to professional-grade grow lights to prevent legginess and maintain structural integrity.
PH
6.5–7.5 — Neutral: Suitable for hardy species that are less sensitive to water chemistry. This range is common in setups using tap water or inert substrates like clay pebbles and stones.

Temperature
65–75°F — Ideal for "Cool-Growers" or highland species. These plants prefer the lower end of the tropical spectrum and may show signs of stress or heat-dropping leaves if temperatures consistently exceed 80°F.
Watering substrate
Damp — These plants love high moisture levels; the substrate should stay wet to the touch at all times but should not be sitting in a stagnant, waterlogged state.
World
New World — Native to the Western Hemisphere: North, Central, and South America plus the Caribbean
