Nightshade, also known as Bitter tomato, Sodom apple, Bitterball, Grey bitter-apple, African eggplant
Nightshade is generally undemanding, making it suited for gardeners looking for plants with simple care requirements. Water moderation is crucial; too much can lead to root problems, so allow the soil to dry out between waterings. As a special care point, full sun exposure is essential for optimal growth; insufficient light can impede its development and flowering.
