Place your pot or plant in full sun—at least 6 hours per day.

Prepare the Soil
Use an acidic soil mix and ensure excellent drainage. Avoid clay soil.

Planting Time
Plant in early spring or late fall for best results.

Planting Process

Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball.

Gently loosen the roots before planting.

Fill with acidic soil and firm lightly.

Water thoroughly.

Mulch
Apply pine bark or sawdust mulch to retain moisture and maintain acidity.

Watering
Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Use rainwater if possible.

Fertilizing
Feed in spring and summer with a fertilizer for acid-loving plants.

Pruning & Maintenance
Prune in winter to remove old wood and shape the plant. Blueberries fruit on 1–2-year-old wood.

Pollination Tip
Plant at least two different varieties for better fruiting.
