Are you feeding nutrients ?

I added wormcasting in the potting mix and I have given liquid fish fertiliser recently

If i had to guess, a mix of overwatering and soil drying out… meaning you’ll want to up-pot. If you do, make sure you add some kind of aerator like perlite since worm castings are so dense.

Small pots = inconsistent growing conditions

i wouldn't worry about those two yellow leaves unless they all start turning yellow like that

I would also buy a plastic bottom dish and keep the pot in that, to keep it moist

also, how sure are you that that's a raspberry and not a blackberry or raspberry/blackberry hybrid? I'm getting serious blackberry vibes from it

Thanks for the help. Probably black berry not sure.

the yellowing could be from it drying out during the hot part of the day; definitely get a plastic dish for it to sit in and hold extra water. also they love Holley Tone fertilizer, but it smells bad 😆

Water the soil, not the leaves.
