🌱 Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

1. Prepare the Soil: Loosen the soil 12–18 inches deep. Mix in compost or Nutra-Pro 1st Year Fertilizer Pak to boost nutrients.
2. Dig a Hole: Large enough to comfortably fit the root system without bending the roots.
3. Plant: Place the crown level with the soil surface and spread roots outward.
4. Backfill & Water: Cover with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly to settle the roots.
5. Mulch: Apply mulch or Weed Pro Weed Mats to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

🪴 Potting Instructions (For Container or Patio Growing)

1. Choose the Right Pot: Select a container at least 15–20 gallons in size with good drainage holes.
2. Potting Mix: Use a mix of potting soil, perlite, and compost for excellent drainage and fertility.
3. Planting: Position the crown level with the soil line, fill in gently, and water thoroughly.
4. Support: Install a small trellis or stake for canes to climb and stay upright.
5. Placement: Place in full sun for 6–8 hours daily for best berry size and sweetness.

🏡 How to Grow Triple Crown Indoors or in Greenhouses

• Light: Provide 6–8 hours of direct sunlight or use a full-spectrum grow light.
• Temperature: Maintain 70–85°F during active growth and 45–50°F during dormancy.
• Pollination: Self-fertile — light shaking or gentle air movement can help distribute pollen indoors.
• Humidity & Airflow: Keep humidity around 40–60% and ensure good airflow to prevent fungal issues.
• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy. Avoid letting containers dry out between waterings.

🌾 Ongoing Care & Maintenance

• Watering: Provide 1–2 inches of water weekly during fruiting season.
• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring and again after harvest.
• Pruning: Cut back old canes after fruiting. Keep 4–6 healthy new canes per plant each year for best yields.
• Support: Use a trellis, fence, or wire system to keep canes upright for easier harvest and airflow.
