While goji berries (Lycium barbarum) generally require low maintenance once they are well-established, they are nevertheless sensitive to over-watering. Over-watering could harm your plants’ growth, particularly seedlings.

Therefore, it is critical to ensure your goji berries are planted in soil that drains easily. They can tolerate poor soil conditions but not waterlogged or very wet soils. If you are cultivating them in pots, opt for a potting mix or for soils low in clay, as soils high in clay tend to retain too much water. Always check the soil moisture before watering; only water when the top few inches of soil feel rather dry to the touch.
