Solanum sp. ‘Ecuador’ is a beautiful and different-looking creeping vine that does very well in vivarium settings. The opening plant in the photo? That was the WORST and SMALLEST one we had when taking the plant photos. So we’re pricing our Solanum sp. ‘Ecuador’ like a 3-4″ cutting (which currently sell other places from $20 to $33), and expect that; that’s our bare minimum.

Our hope is that you’ll be pleasantly surprised when you get a 2″ pot with one or more well-rooted, actively-growing leads (I mean, the one in the photo has more than 4, and that was the smallest). A total drama queen in shipment, This and other Solanums may drop all their leaves and play dead (this is normal, not a DOA), but they do bounce back and can grow quite rapidly if conditions are to their liking. Of course, ours are already rooted and potted, not a cutting, so you’re already ahead of the game when it comes to any recovery time needed.

Description

Solanum sp. ‘Ecuador’ is a beautiful and different-looking creeping vine that does very well in vivarium settings. It is known to be a plant that may drop some or all of the leaves in shipping but springs back quickly so long as the stems are good (so buyer beware, we won’t automatically refund this plant if it has dropped leaves, this is not a DOA but is normal shipping stress for this plant).

As of late 2020, single cuttings of Solanum sp. ‘Ecuador’ are selling for anywhere from $20 to $33 for as small as just a 3-4″ single growing tip, unrooted, through other sources. We’ll do you one better. Ours will be in 2″ pots with multiple growing leads. We’ll *promise* one growing lead, absolutely comparable to those other offerings, but we should be able to dramatically overdeliver. The opening plant in the photo? That was the WORST and SMALLEST one we had when taking the plant photos. Expect a 4″ cutting, and be pleasantly surprised.

So, one more time. Solanum sp. ‘Ecuador’ is a total drama queen in shipment, it may drop all its leaves and play dead, but they do bounce back and can grow quite rapidly if conditions are to their liking. Of course, ours are already rooted and potted, not a cutting, so you’re already ahead of the game when it comes to any recovery time needed.

General Care Information

Originating from Ecuador (obviously), this vining plant will rapidly ramble and spread and branch if conditions are to its liking. It appreciates moderate to high light in our care and loves humidity. The leaves are pubescent (hairy), adding to the obvious visual appeal of this tropical vine.
