    20150214_170626.jpg Hi I bought a cranberry plant last year reduced. It looks ok however it was pot bound so i repotted it. But then it got attacked by fungus gnats which i have almost got rid of all of them. It still looks a bit sick and it drops a fair few leaves sometimes. Any advice on how to get it healthier and ready for planting out this year? Also when is the best time to plant it outside in a big pot? Plus what is the best way to get it used to the cold weather?
    Any tips or advice will be appreciated
    :)

      I'm sure I've read somewhere Wardy they prefer to be in open ground and preferably acid soil but check up first there's every chance I've got that wrong:doh::thumbsup:
