New plants in the mail.. set up help ( Jaboticaba, Blackerry jam fruit)

[Griffin182]

Hello all,

I live in the northeast so i will be growing these plants in containers and indoors year round.
I have 2 red jaboticaba and a blackberry jam fruit being shipped up to me in a few days. Any tips for soil mix, grow lights, watering would be appreciated. Thanks!

The jaboticaba would like spaghnum peat moss mixed with 15% perlite
Use Epsoma holly tone fertilizer
The blackberry jam fruit I would use the same mix and add some rabbit
manure.

Thanks for the tips! My Jabos are leaning a bit, should I stake these or will they straighten up over time.

You should be all good, they'll straighten out when they acclimate to their new environment. They definitely appreciate getting bright indoor light or being under a cfl lamp if you have the access/capability.
