Step 5: Watering Instructions for Blackberries
Watering is one of the most essential things for any plant to survive – and keep thriving for years to come – and gardeners are often surprised to find out that they don’t need to water nearly as often as they should. Do you believe that you should water your plants at least once to twice per day? For hotter areas, this can ring true – but for most areas that don’t get as much light or heat, watering twice per day can overwhelm especially younger plants.
Water at least once per week to keep your blackberry plants happy, and adjust this as necessary according to where you live. Hotter climates will need increased watering, though before the sun peaks or you risk a “magnifying glass” effect which could cause a lot of damage to new plant growth.
Scale down watering if the soil remains wet, or if the rain starts to pick up.
