The growth process of black nightshade

Black nightshade is a product of nature, found everywhere in fields, along ditches and riverbanks, in front of and behind houses. You never see how it grows; when you do see it, it is a whole tree of small fruits, black or green, laden with abundant fruit.

You can see how strong its adaptability is. It is not picky about soil, needs plenty of sunlight, and can take more or less water. Then it will quietly grow up and offer up sweet and sour black beans.

If you grow it at home yourself, it is best to choose sandy soil with good drainage, give it plenty of light, and keep the soil moist without waterlogging, otherwise the roots are easily damaged. When fertilizing, use more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote flower bud differentiation and more fruit. Let it grow naturally, or prune it appropriately according to the size of the space. With proper care, you too can harvest delicious black beans!

Black nightshade also has high medicinal value, treating many diseases, and the whole plant is a treasure. It also has an antioxidant function, and is very suitable for cancer patients to eat. Cancer is usually formed by a combination of heat toxin, blood stasis, yin deficiency and qi stagnation. The whole plant is used as medicine to treat digestive tract cancer, lung cancer and so on,

But how to use it as medicine is a doctor's business. You must never use it as medicine yourself without authorization, it is dangerous.
