Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Allow the top few centimeters of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.

Pruning is generally not required for <i>Physalis angulata</i>, which is often grown as an annual or short-lived perennial.

If it becomes leggy or overgrown, light pruning can be done to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged stems.

<i>Physalis angulata</i> is easily propagated from seeds. Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost, or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Seeds germinate best in warm soil.

Cuttings can also be taken from softwood in spring.

Repotting is typically only necessary for container-grown plants. If the plant becomes root-bound, move it to a slightly larger pot. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repotting is best done in spring before new growth begins or after fruiting has finished.
