watering
For Brazilian nightshade (Solanum seaforthianum), it is best to water it in the morning when the soil is still relatively cool. Water the plants deeply about once a week, providing enough water so that the top few inches of soil are moist but not saturated. If the weather is particularly dry, you may need to water it more often.
sunlight
Brazilian nightshade (Solanum seaforthianum) plants need 4-6 hours of direct sunlight each day. During the summer months, when the sun is at its strongest, the plants should receive their daily dose of sunlight during the morning or late afternoon hours. In the winter, however, plants will likely need the full 6 hours of sunlight each day in order to remain healthy.
pruning
Pruning of the Brazilian nightshade should be done in the spring or the early summer. Pruning should be done to remove any dead branches decaying branches and also any branches that are taking away energy from the main stems. Pruning should also be done to reduce the size of the plant, to encourage better branching and flowering. The amount of pruning should be moderate so as not to over prune the plant.
