Taxonomy ID: 7503
Common names
Cloudberry, Bake Apple, Baked Apple BerryMore information about Cloudberry
What is the region of origin of Cloudberry
Cloudberry’s native range is Northern Europe, including Britain, from Scandanavia south and east to Germany and N. Asia.
What are the water needs for Cloudberry
Cloudberry should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
What is the right soil for Cloudberry
Cloudberry loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.
What is the sunlight requirement for Cloudberry
Cloudberry thrives in bright and direct sunlight. To ensure your plant receives enough light to survive, place it less than one foot from a window. The current weather in your area may affect the placement in your home. For example, if you live in a region that has longer and more intense periods of sunlight, then you may want to place the plant farther away from the window to avoid direct sunlight and reduce the risk of sunburn. Alternatively, if you live in a region with relatively milder temperatures and less intense sunlight, then you may be able to place the plant closer to the window for increased exposure. Ultimately, the current weather in your area should be taken into consideration when determining the best placement for your Baked Apple Berry.
How to fertilize Cloudberry
The Cloudberry should be transferred to a new pot once it has increased in size two-fold, or on an annual basis, whichever occurs earlier. Replacing the soil with fresh potting soil containing all the necessary nutrients, is sufficient enough to support the growth of the plant, thus avoiding the need to use fertilizer. It's important to note that plants derive their energy from the sun and not fertilizer.
