Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your goji berry live plant is straightforward, as these shrubs are quite hardy and adaptable. They thrive best in full sun, meaning at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Choose a location in your garden that receives ample sun exposure to encourage robust growth and abundant fruit production. While they are drought-tolerant once established, consistent watering during their initial growth period is crucial to help them develop a strong root system. Aim for well-draining soil, as waterlogged conditions can be detrimental. A slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.5-7.0) is generally preferred, but they are tolerant of a wider range.

When planting, dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Gently remove the plant from its nursery pot, loosen any circling roots, and place it in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the ground. Backfill with soil, gently tamp down, and water thoroughly. For container planting, select a large pot (at least 15-20 gallons) to accommodate the mature size of the goji berry bush. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or organic compost to support healthy growth and fruit development. Pruning is beneficial to maintain shape, encourage new growth, and improve air circulation; do this in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Understanding basic goji plant care will ensure a thriving and productive bush.
