That should happen only to the brown fingered gardener. I tell you how to not propagate a goji berry.
Even more embarrassing is that I purchase my first goji berry and it died!
Now I know that you can actually kill this plant very easily by planting it into very fertile soil, enriched with compost, that is what I did.
The second time I tried the low cost method. Got some berries in the health food shop, soaked them a day and sowed the seeds in my seed raising bed. They sprouted in no time and grew very fast. When I came around to transplant them - I wanted to transplant some into pots and some in the garden - they were ten or twenty centimeters high yet. Transplanting, I realized that they had a huge taproot. Needless to say, they all died.
I think next time I will sow the seeds directly into the garden, but how to produce plants for sale? Do I sow directly in a pot and will the plants survive being transplanted from the pot?
(Anyway, it is not entirely OK to sell plants from a seeds were I don't know exactly what it is, but that's another thread)
