Full sun and cool to mild temperatures are more appropriate than hot, humid conditions. In climates with freezing winters, mulch over the root zone and expect the top growth to disappear. Growers in warm climates should provide excellent drainage and some afternoon protection if plants decline in prolonged heat.

			=== Soil ===

			Tlanoxtle is associated with volcanic highland soils in open fields, pastures, shrubland, and forest clearings. These sites are generally mineral, porous, and seasonally dry rather than swampy. A gritty loam or volcanic soil with organic matter and rapid drainage is preferable; heavy clay should be raised or amended so winter and summer rains do not leave the root crown saturated.<sup>[[#cite_note-1\|[1]]]</sup>

			=== Sun and humidity ===

			Open-field populations receive full sun, although plants at forest edges may receive afternoon shade. The highland atmosphere is cooler and less continuously humid than a lowland tropical climate, with humidity increasing during summer rains. Avoid hot, stagnant conditions and provide airflow in warm climates.

			=== Seasonal changes ===

			The natural cycle is strongly seasonal: summer rains support active shoots and flowering, while the cooler, drier winter commonly brings dieback or a below-ground rest. Keep the plant drier during dormancy and resume moisture as new growth appears. At high elevations, cold nights can extend the dormant period even when daytime sun is strong.

	'''Tlanoxtle''' (''Lycianthes moziniana'' (Dunal) Bitter) is a perennial Mexican food plant in the genus [[Lycianthes]] and family [[Solanaceae]], the tomato and potato family.

	Leaves are simple and occur in unequal pairs on the upper shoots. The blades range from obovate and elliptic to ovate or lanceolate, with entire margins that may be undulate or irregularly angled. Flowers are solitary and axillary, carried horizontally on unusually long pedicels. The flowers have a shallow, round corolla and five poricidal anthers. A green calyx with ten narrow appendages is a useful identification character and helps distinguish ''Lycianthes'' from many wild ''Solanum'' species.<sup>[[#cite_note-1\|[1]]]</sup><sup>[[#cite_note-3\|[3]]]</sup>		Leaves are simple and occur in unequal pairs on the upper shoots.

	The plant is a low perennial herb, usually 0.1 to 0.5 m tall, although specimens up to about 0.9 m have been recorded. Stems may be green to purple-green, with little woody tissue except near the base. The plant branches sympodially and may become decumbent, ascending, or erect as it grows. White, simple hairs cover the stems and leaves. The underground storage roots allow the above-ground growth to die back during the dry or cool part of the year and then resprout when conditions improve.<sup>[[#cite_note-1\|[1]]]</sup>		The plant is a low perennial herb, usually 0.1 to 0.5 m tall, although specimens up to about 0.9 m have been recorded.

	Tlanoxtle is most reliably identified when flowers and fruit are present. Look for a low, hairy perennial with long, solitary flower stalks, a ten-appendaged calyx, and green berries whose enlarged fruiting calyx teeth remain appressed to the fruit. The botanical revision recognizes three varieties of ''L. moziniana''; the variety ''moziniana'' is the form associated with the traditional food plant and the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt.<sup>[[#cite_note-1\|[1]]</sup>		Tlanoxtle is most reliably identified when flowers and fruit are present.
