Our coir solutions are also available in durable, UV-protected bags for long-term use, perfect for Open Top methods and plastic pots.

To support healthy blackberry growth:

Blackberry plants grow new canes each spring, which live for two years—growing in the first year and fruiting in the second before dying back.
Pruning the old canes annually is crucial to keep the plant healthy.

A simple support system helps the plant grow upwards, ensuring good light and air circulation. This also keeps side branches secure, preventing damage during fruit harvesting.

Efficient Pollination

Elevate your blackberry yields by utilizing a combination of honey bees and bumblebees. This strategy capitalizes on the unique advantages offered by both bee types.

For optimal plant growth in coco coir substrates:

Balanced Fertilization: Start with a 1:1:1 fertilizer throughout the growth phase.
Transition to High Potassium:After establishing the plants, shift to a fertilizer high in potassium with lower nitrogen and phosphorus levels.
Micronutrient Integration: Ensure essential micronutrients are included in your fertilizer solution to support plant health in coco coir.

Key Guidelines for Successful Blackberry Cultivation in Pelemix Grow bags

Nutrient Consistency:Ensure consistent nutrient delivery with every irrigation.
Dedicated Tanks:Use separate tanks for fertilizers and a container for acid.
E.C. and pH Monitoring: Regularly check and maintain optimal levels in both the dripper system and the drainage system.
Water Quality Consideration: Factor in tap water nutrient levels when preparing fertigation solutions.
Climate-Specific Adjustments: Modify nitrogen distribution for hot climates.
Adaptive Nutrient Management: Be ready to adjust nutrient levels as plants grow.
Proactive Deficiency Management: Address nutrient deficiencies quickly to prevent growth issues.
Routine Analysis: Conduct regular lab tests on irrigation, drainage, and leaf samples to fine-tune growth conditions
