How to grow blackberries at home in pots

How to grow blackberries at home in pots: Enjoy the fresh fruits.
1. Choose the right variety
Choose a compact, thornless variety such as ‘Baby Cakes’ or ‘Navaho’ for easy container growing.
2. Choose a large, deep pot
Use a pot at least 45-50 cm deep with drainage holes.
3. Use soil that drains well
Fill the pot with rich, well-drained soil. Blackberries prefer slightly acidic soil, so mix in compost or peat moss.
4. Plant the blackberry
Plant the root ball at the same depth as its original pot, leaving room for growth. Water well.
5. Place in full sun
Position the pot where it receives 6-8 hours of daily sunlight.
6. Water regularly
Keep the soil moist, especially in hot climates.
7. Provide support
Use a trellis or stakes to support the plant as it grows.
8. Feed and fertilize
Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer every few weeks during the growing season.
9. Pruning to increase production
After fruiting, prune the old canes and leave the new ones for next season’s fruit.
10. Harvest
Pick the blackberries when they are dark purple and soft.
