The important thing to remember with watering the Jerusalem Cherry is to do it frequently during the growing period.

One should never let the soil dry out. Water regularly during the warmer seasons and begin cutting back once the temperatures get colder or at least once it starts to develop buds. Cutting back on water once it begins to flower will encourage it to bloom.

As a good reminder, when growing, water frequently and enough to keep the soil moist and once it matures and starts producing flowers and fruit, reduce watering when the flowers start blooming or once fruit has begun to fall off. If done cyclically, then this can make the Jerusalem Cherry grow strong and healthy and make it last for years.
