Physalis in a container
Hello all,
I've attached a picture of my physalis plant which is in a good large pot. The reason I grew it from a root was because I came across one a few years ago which was bushy full of leaves with loads of bright orange lanterns hanging all over and it looked beautiful. Mine is quite leggy, I counted about 15 stems coming up from the soil, not very leafy and I only have about six lanterns, one to a stem. I couldn't see the legs at all on the one I originally seen. I just to check from you if mine looks ok, I'm wondering if it needs taking out, divided and made smaller? Just so you know it's about 2-3 years old, grown from root. It's in full south facing sun and never scorches. Thanks all it's great to be able to ask these questions.
