Solanum evolvulifolium is a trailing vine native to South America, particularly Ecuador, and is a member of the nightshade family (Solanaceae). This plant is well-suited for terrariums and vivariums due to its high humidity and indirect light requirements.

• Leaves: Small, ovate to rhombic, with a distinctive venation pattern.

• Flowers: Small, star-shaped, white or pale yellow flowers.

• Humidity: Thrives in high humidity levels, ideally between 70–90%.

• Temperature: Prefers temperatures ranging from 18–27°C (64–80°F).
