Choose the Right Location: Pineberries need full sun for at least 6 hours a day. Select a bright spot in your garden or balcony.
Pick Quality Plants: Purchase healthy, disease-free pineberry runners or seedlings from a trusted nursery.
Soil Preparation: Pineberries prefer well-drained, slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5–6.5). Mix in compost to improve fertility and drainage.
Proper Spacing: Plant pineberries 12–18 inches apart to give them room to grow and prevent overcrowding.
Water Wisely: Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Water at the base to avoid fungal issues and leaf diseases.
Mulch for Moisture: Add straw or bark mulch around the plants to retain moisture and stop weed growth.
Pollination Matters: Grow red strawberries nearby to cross-pollinate your pineberries, increasing yield and fruit size.
Fertilize Lightly: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring and mid-season for healthy plant growth.
