Physalis can be both edible and decorative. To grow, you need to know a few secrets.
How to grow physalis in the garden
Physalis is a perennial plant that will decorate your garden with bright flowers.
You can grow physalis both from seeds and through seedlings.
Seedlings will speed up the development of the plant and protect against cold weather at night.
Growing physalis is not difficult. You will need nutritious and well-drained soil.
However, plants can develop under almost any conditions.
For growing, choose sandy or neutral soil. Physalis may not produce flowers and fruits if the soil is too nutritious.
Monitor soil moisture and water the plant regularly.
It is also important to choose a sunny spot in the garden for the plant.
In a sunny location, physalis is more likely to bear fruit.
For good fruiting, do not add fertilizer when planting the plant in open ground.
How to grow physalis in a pot
You can also grow physalis in a pot if you have no space left in the garden.
To do this, use a spacious pot with a hole in the base to allow excess water to drain.
Choose a pot with a depth of 50 cm and a diameter of at least 30 cm.
This will provide enough space for the plant to grow and develop.
To grow physalis, use a soil mixture with the addition of sand, gravel or expanded clay.
Compost is good for fertilizing.
