Solanum Mammosum
Solanum mammosum – Nipplefruit
Solanum mammosum, commonly known as Nipplefruit, is a unique and striking plant native to the tropical regions of the Americas. This plant is renowned for its unusual, bright orange fruits, which resemble small, nipple-shaped structures. It is also known by the names "titty fruit" or "cow’s udder," due to the shape of its fruits.
The Nipplefruit plant itself is a shrub that grows to about 1–1.5 meters (3–5 feet) in height and produces small, star-shaped purple flowers. These flowers eventually give way to the strange, rounded fruit, which ripens to a vivid orange. The fruit is not edible and is primarily grown for ornamental purposes due to its eye-catching appearance.
Solanum mammosum thrives in tropical and subtropical climates, requiring full sun and well-drained soil. It can be grown as an ornamental plant in gardens or containers, adding a touch of novelty to landscapes. However, it should be handled with care as the plant is toxic if ingested.

Put it where the light is bright and keep the temperature around 25øC for about 7 to 14 days. As soon as the seeds germinate, prick them out and sow them using well draining soil mixture plant at 1/2" depth. Keep them warm and the soil damp. Once they reach a good size, you can plant them outside. The plant is not too particular about soil requirements. |
