We currently receive many inquiries about the correct planting of aronia on the balcony or terrace. Here you can read how to enjoy this local superfood even in the smallest space.
- Choose pots of sufficient size, 20 L is recommended
- Ceramic or clay pots are advisable. Avoid plastic pots
- The plants love the sun. Ensure a sunny location
- Avoid waterlogging in the container
- Please do not over-fertilize, only when necessary
- Bark mulch is unsuitable for aronia plants
- Protect the pot & root from frost in winter, e.g. with fleece, felt or styrofoam
- Please do NOT move your aronia plant indoors (e.g. cellar, stairwell) over winter. Lack of light, sun, fresh oxygen and weather exposure can inhibit growth the following year
- Please note that the aronia plant's root may outgrow the pot, and planting in the garden may be beneficial
- Growth in pots is often slightly slower than with open-ground planting
We wish you much joy and the so-called "green thumb" for your aronia plant.
