Raspberries are particularly afraid of two extreme weather conditions: drought and flood. They cannot withstand these two conditions. However, if you cannot grow at home, there is no need to worry.

1. Choose a pot

Choose a larger pot when growing raspberries at home. Raspberries tend to grow divergently, so it is important to leave enough space.

The flower pot you choose should have good air permeability and drainage, and should be designed with drainage holes at the bottom.

Raspberries especially need the nourishment of sunlight. Put them in the sun so that the surface of the pot is evenly covered with sunlight. Photosynthesis will make the fruit sweeter.

In summer, you can use a sunshade net to block some sunlight to avoid sun exposure, but do not cover it entirely.

4. Water

Potted raspberries need watering. Watering is an essential task. Watering is done two to three times a week in spring and autumn.

The weather in summer is sultry and needs to be done more frequently. You can pour water on the leaves once a day to cover the soil surface to ensure soil humidity and moisture.

In winter, when the temperature is low and you are afraid of freezing, you can water a small amount. Water supplementation is also required during other fruiting periods.

6. Fertilizer

The soil needs nutrients when planting in spring. You can apply phosphorus fertilizer or nitrogen fertilizer appropriately to supplement soil nutrients, and maintain the fertilization frequency at least twice a month.

It is best to apply thin fertilizer. Do not pour it all over, which will cause excess nutrients, which is not conducive to the growth of raspberries.

7. Temperature

The temperature in spring and autumn is just suitable for the growth of raspberries. Just keep the indoor temperature at about 10℃-20℃. This temperature can make raspberries grow well. .

In winter, raspberries need to be moved indoors for maintenance. When the sun comes out at noon, the potted raspberries can be taken out to bask in the sun.

8. Pruning

Mature raspberries will easily have dry branches. If you find them, you must prune them in time to allow the fresh branches to absorb more nutrients.

If the branches are particularly dense, you can also cut off some excess branches to make the potted plant look more beautiful and complete.

Ensure that after pruning, every branch can attach to the sun and fully absorb the sunlight.

Raspberries can be picked after they are ripe. There are quite a lot of raspberries growing from one raspberry branch, and the yield is very impressive.

If you usually grow raspberries at home and eat them, you can plant a few pots of them, and you can have the freedom of growing raspberries at home!
