   Can ericas grow in containers?

   • If you find that your soil is too alkaline for ericas, you can still grow them in containers, using ericaceous (acidic) compost. Ericas also like free-draining soil, and once settled in are fairly tolerant of drought. They don't like to sit in damp  or waterlogged soil, as they are prone to rotting. Most ericas need an open, sunny site.
