The coral shrub should be cool in winter but bright
Keep the coral shrub frost-free in the house over the winter
The coral shrub is a solanaceae native to Brazil and Chile. The decorative shrub is not hardy and is therefore usually maintained as a container plant or year-round in a flower window. So overwinter a coral shrub.
Coral shrub overwinter properly
Since the coral shrub is not hardy and does not tolerate temperatures below eight degrees, you must overwinter it in the house. In the field, you can only pull it for a year or you dig it out in time in the fall. It is even better to pull him right in the bucket.
For wintering place the coral shrub in a bright place where the temperatures are between eight and twelve degrees. In the winter, water only moderately, but pay attention to sufficiently high humidity.
Tips
If you bring the coral shrub into the house in winter, make sure that small children and pets can not get at the fruits. They contain alkaloids that can cause serious poisoning when consumed.
