Does anyone have raspberry/blueberry/mulberry in their terrace garden?

Does anyone have raspberry/blueberry/mulberry in their terrace garden?

Hi Garden community. I was wondering if any of you have either raspberry or blueberry or any similar berry in your terrace garden? Do they grow and fruit well? How difficult is the care for you all? What's the weather like typically where you all grow it? I want to understand this before i decide whether I should get one or not. Thanks in advance.

I have experience with strawberries growing in Pune during uni (was really easy both from seeds and nursery saplings).

Also I have a mulberry plant at home. Nursery owner had said it will fruit like the image attached. It's not big now, potted in a big drum bucket with 5-6 long stems. A couple of fruit came in green but they dried off before it could grow big. Did hard prune this week to make it branch out more and make it bushier.

[Ps: anyone in Kolkata have dark reddish pink plumeria/kath champa? Can anyone share a cutting? I want to gift it to my mother as a birthday present. Nursery nearby don't have it in that colour.]

How do you deal with Mealybugs?

Genuine question. What are the methods that has worked for you all to deal with Mealybugs.

I'm honestly fed up of finding them. I treat them with neem oil and soap spray on all the effected leaves. But nothing works. They keep multiplying and spreading. And it has become hectic to manage so many plants with mealybug attacks in this heat.

Can anyone ID this variety for me please?

Hi, so I got this adenium/desert rose last week, it only had buds then, this week it started blooming. Could anyone identify this variety for me please??

Also, is it common for this plant to lose leafs after repotting? It was in grow bag in the nursery, now it is in a pot. Since then bottom leaves have turned yellow and dropped. I haven't watered it yet.

I do have another adenium plant, it's 3 years old, but has never flowered, has loads of leafs. So I am not used to differences for flowering variety.

Thanks 💜
