''Datura'' species are usually sown annually from the seed produced in the spiny [[Capsule (fruit)|capsules]], but, with care, the tuberous-rooted [[Perennial plant|perennial]] species may be overwintered. Most species are suited to being planted outside or in containers. As a rule, they need warm, sunny places and soil that will keep their roots dry. When grown outdoors in good locations, the plants tend to reseed themselves and may become invasive. In containers, they should have porous, aerated potting soil with adequate drainage. The plants are susceptible to fungi in the root area, so anaerobic organic enrichment such as anaerobically composted organic matter or manure, should be avoided.<ref name="Preissel-2002"/>
