seeds meant to be grown or the commercially available berries meant to be eaten

moist until they sprout which is usually in about 10 days. If planting the
seeds directly, place the seeds into small containers with sterile soil and
keep moist in a warm spot. Seedlings should emerge in 4 to 6 weeks. Continue to
grow your goji berry bushes in containers until they reach a suitable size to
transplant outdoors if in a suitable climate. Otherwise goji berries can be
successfully grown in containers indoors. However, goji berry bushes like full
sunlight and loose organic soil.
