Goji berry is relatively easy to grow both in field conditions and at home - in a pot. The plant is highly cold-resistant and easily tolerates low temperatures. When grown in pots, it should be prepared with a rich soil mixture of garden soil, leaf and rotted manure and sand.
The potted plant goji berry should be grown outdoors for at least the first year after planting, after which it can be moved to a terrace or balcony.
