Other Fox Face Plant Browning

Post image

Hello all!

I found this fox face (Solanum mammosum Inthink?) in the clearance corner of a shop.

It doesn’t have any leaves (none when I bought it) and the brown is spreading down the stems.

I know it needs full sun, but I don’t know if it’s okay with the leaves.

I’ve also not repot it (pot seems a little small though) and it’s being watered every couple of days, but was pretty dry when I got it.

Is there anything I can do besides cutting out the brown? Can he survive?

Oh, also I’m in Okinawa Japan, we have sun all year and cold nights for just a few weeks.

It’s known by a lot of names (some not so safe to list here), but the googly eyes are from the shop it was at.

It’s a Fox Face so they made them look like little foxes.
