Water:
Your rubus chloocladus requires minimal care once established, needing approximately 2.5 cm (1 in) of water weekly. Adjust watering for containers based on soil condition, ensuring deep watering when the topsoil dries and appears whitish. Always maintain well-drained soil.
Fertilize:
Prepare soil pre-planting with balanced fertilizer (N-P-K: 10-10-10). After planting rubus chloocladus, apply mulch annually in early spring or late fall. During the growing season, fertilize every 2-3 months with a balanced fertilizer for fruiting plants. Care for pot plants similarly.
Pruning:
Pruning is essential for rubus chloocladus. Cut all fruiting canes to the base post-harvest and trim first-year canes by half to encourage lateral growth in late winter or early spring. Remove suckers, overcrowded canes, and debris to prevent disease in patches.
Propagation:
Propagation of rubus chloocladus can be achieved through root or stem cuttings, taken in late winter or early summer respectively. For seed growth, recreate a harsh environment, scarify the seeds, and sow in early fall, with some needing cold treatment at 3℃ for a month before spring sowing.
