# Hi all . . Wondering if anyone can help, I brought a Solanum Crispum…

_Posted by Dani on 2024-09-18_

Hi all . . Wondering if anyone can help, I brought a Solanum Crispum (Potato vine) in April and it doesnt seem to be doing very well. Ive covered it with stones as thought roots dont like too much sun, its in a south facing spot (although sun has to rise higher than the house). I live in wales (lots of rain) - wondering whether the stones are keeping the roots too wet? Its strange as I have a non climbing Solanum laxum and that seems to be doing really well, only real difference being stones \& size of the pot. Any help or advice would be very welcome
