If planting in containers, use a quality potting mix and choose a pot with drainage holes. Water regularly during the first growing season to help roots establish, then reduce watering once the plant is settled. Pomegranates benefit from consistent moisture but do not tolerate waterlogged soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese plants can be grown in the ground in suitable climates or kept in containers and protected during colder months. Prune lightly to shape the plant and remove dead or crossing branches. Feed with a balanced fertilizer in spring as new growth begins. In cooler zones, provide winter protection or move container-grown plants to a sheltered area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree Afganski Pomegranate starter plugs (Punica granatum).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739753251126,"sku":"EDNA-204","price":91.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8074970340_emci.jpg?v=1792115108","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/3-afganski-pomegranate-starter-plugs-punica-granatum-cold-hardy-edible-plants","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
