The goji plant, which is a native of Asia and grows into a shrub
that can reach up to 10 feet, begins from a tiny black goji seed,
which is smaller than a tomato seed. The goji seed is a popular item
nowadays, as more people want to enjoy the health benefits of goji.
You can order goji seed online or by mail, and, if you wish, begin
growing goji yourself for fun and profit.
Although the goji seeds are small, they grow quite rapidly. Once
your seedlings are one inch high, you can transplant them from the
small plastic dome to a regular pot. As the goji plant grows to one
foot, you can transplant it into your garden. The goji seed and the
plant that grows from it is quite hardy; it can handle many different
kind of soils and is drought resistant. However, the nutritional quality
of the fruit is affected by the quality of its soil, so ensure that
your goji plant is well taken care of. You can train your goji plant
to form vines and trellises.
For best results, purchase goji seed that is from the Himalayas.
This is the highest quality goji seed and will yield the best fruit.
If you are unsuccessful growing plants from your goji seed, you can
order seedlings, although make sure that you order them from a well-established
company, since shipping seedlings is an art that many start-up companies
are unfamiliar with.
If you live in a tropical area, avoid ordering goji seed, since there
is not enough evidence that shows that goji can thrive in this climate.
If you live outside of the US, it is best to buy goji seed from a
company in your home country, since it is usually against the law
to send agricultural products abroad. You don’t have to be an
expert gardener to start goji plants from seeds; you just need to
be attentive and careful with your small goji plants.
