How to Care for the Plant

Water
The plant's desire for moist soil will require it to receive regular watering, especially during hot, dry summers.
Fertilizer
Planting in rich soil will eliminate the need for any fertilizer during the growing season. A thin layer of mulch applied in late fall or early winter will protect the roots before the frost season.
Sunlight
Red baneberry is a wildflower that grows naturally in mature forests. Consequently, many people use this plant in their shade gardens, although it can tolerate areas with partial to full shade.
