What is the region of origin of Rocky Mountain Raspberry
Rocky Mountain Raspberry’s native range is Western N. America - Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona.
What are the water needs for Rocky Mountain Raspberry
Rocky Mountain Raspberry should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
What is the right soil for Rocky Mountain Raspberry
Rocky Mountain Raspberry 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 Rocky Mountain Raspberry
Rocky Mountain Raspberry 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 Delicious Raspberry.
How to fertilize Rocky Mountain Raspberry
The Rocky Mountain Raspberry should be repotted either when it doubles in size or annually, whichever comes first. Providing new potting soil with all the vital nutrients annually is enough to support the growth of the plant, and thus, there is no need for fertilizer. Remember that plants derive their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.
