Goji berry fruit cultivation in Kashmir

The soaking and sprouting step can be helpful; however, it is not absolutely vital to starting your goji berry bushes. If sprouting your seeds simply lay them on damp paper and cover them with more damp paper, keep them moist until they sprout which is usually in about 10 days. 

If planting the seeds directly, place the seeds into small containers with sterile soil and keep moist in a warm spot. Seedlings should emerge in 4 to 6 weeks. Continue to grow your goji berry bushes in containers until they reach a suitable size to transplant outdoors if in a suitable climate. Otherwise goji berries can be successfully grown in containers indoors. However, goji berry bushes like full sunlight and loose organic soil.
