looking after your goji berry

These instructions are sent with the plant gift

Goji berries originate in the Himalayas and often grow high up in the mountains and so can cope with a wide range of conditions. They will however produce the most berries when planted out in a nice sunny spot in the garden.

Whilst your plant is in a small pot it will need regular watering. Aim to water it heavily and then allow the top of the compost to dry out before watering heavily again. As soon as practical your goji berry plant will benefit from being planted out in the garden or potted up in a much larger pot. Add a top dressing of well rotted manure or other rich compost to help your plant settle in and you may want to replace the pyramid of canes with a longer single cane as your plant grows Over the summer months your goji plant will benefit from a dose of general purpose liquid feed once or twice a year to help keep the foliage healthy and to set flowers.

The fruits of the goji berry are very tart but packed full of vitamins and anti-oxidants and can be used in cold drinks and for making tea.

Goji berries are not greedy feeders but if the leaves start to turn a pale or mottled colour your plant needs more nutrients and will benefit from a good dose of general house plant or citrus feed every couple of waterings until it greens up again. Goji berry plants are deciduous so don’t be alarmed when it starts to lose its leaves in winter. These plants are reasonably hardy but if we do have particularly cold spells (-8C or colder) then a fleece or heavy straw mulch will give your plant a bit more protection especially in the first couple of years.
