Water regularly, especially during dry spells. Aim to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering as plants mature and fruits begin to ripen.

Overwatering can lead to root rot and affect fruit quality.

Pruning is generally minimal for Mexican Groundcherry. You can pinch back young plants to encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged branches as needed. Heavy pruning is not typically required for this species.

Easily propagated from seeds sown indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Seeds germinate best in warm soil. Cuttings can also be taken from mature plants.

Repot seedlings into larger containers as they grow, typically moving from small pots to larger ones. Mature plants are often grown in the ground, so repotting is usually only for nursery starts before transplanting or for overwintering in colder climates.
