Well-drained loamy soil or standard potting mix with perlite; tolerates poor soil once established.
Water regularly during growth season, allow topsoil to dry between waterings; drought tolerant when mature.
Requires full sun for optimal flowering and fruiting; can tolerate partial shade but berries may diminish indoors.
Apply slow-release fertilizer in spring; avoid high nitrogen to prevent excessive foliage over berries.
Prune after flowering in late summer to maintain shape and remove dead wood; thorns require caution.
