⭐️🌸 Potato Vine Shohin, #2539

Lycianthes rantonnei, Tak Shimazu, Dec 2025.

  • Tolerance for hard pruning

  • Needs consistent water

  • Thrives in full sun and well-drained soil

  • Feed regularly with a good organic fertilizer as it's a heavy feeder

  • Zones 9+

  • Protect from frost or bring indoors in colder climates

  • Is toxic, so keep away from pets and children. All parts of the plant are toxic to humans and pets

Dec 30

  • Repot into #5 training pot

  • Wire branches carefully (if brittle)

  • I may have planted it too deeply for exposed roots—may try again and raise it above the soil.
