How to fertilize Boreal Bramble

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Boreal Bramble after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

My raspberry keeps dying and idk why I purchased new plants online, and both are struggling. They both get full sun, both repotted in FoxFarm Ocean potting mix. Do these guys not do well in containers? Do I need to add extra horticultural charcoal to the soil? #GoldenEvergreenRaspberry

Should this plant have a cage around it like tomato plants? #AlleghenyBlackberry

🪴 Soil
Boreal Bramble does best in well-draining soil. A good soil will contain lots of organic matter such as coco coir as well as perlite or vermiculite to help with drainage. Adding a handful of perlite to regular store-bought potting soil should do the trick!
💩 Fertilizer
Boreal Bramble should be repotted after it doubles in size or once a year, whichever comes first. Fresh potting soil has all the nutrients your plant needs, so as long as it’s refreshed yearly, you shouldn’t need to use fertilizer. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!
