If you plant a physalis, you hope for lush fruit production. In order for this to happen, the nightshade plant needs the right environmental conditions. This also includes the right temperature. In this post you will find out the minimum temperature for Physalis to germinate and overwinter.
What is the minimum temperature for Physalis?
The minimum temperature for Physalis isfor germination at 20 degrees Celsiusandfor overwintering at ten degrees Celsius. Even better is 22 to 25 degrees when growing and 13 to 15 degrees when overwintering indoors.
What minimum temperature does the Physalis need to germinate?
To germinate, the physalis needs a minimum temperature ofaround 20 degrees CelsiusStill22 to 25 degrees is better The plant generally grows rather slowly. If the temperatures tend to be higher at the beginning, the seeds will usually germinate a little faster.
Important: When growing, pay attention toconstant temperatures.
What minimum temperature does the Physalis need to overwinter?
To overwinter, the Physalis needs a minimum temperature often degrees CelsiusIt feels even more comfortable at around13 to 15 degrees That means, that in our latitudes it cannot survive outside in the cool season. So bring the plant into the house in good time before the first consistently cold days if you want to keep it for several years.
Note: The Physalis can only withstand temperatures below ten degrees for a very short time.
Tip
Physalis is a heat-loving plant
The Physalis originally comes from South America and therefore generally likes it bright and warm. For this reason, you should give the nightshade a window seat in a heated room when you start growing it in January and later a full sun location in the garden.
