Top Growing Tips
Pick a sunny spot—while blueberries tolerate semi-shade, you’ll get a bigger harvest with more sunshine.
Use acidic soil or ericaceous compost—blueberries love acidic conditions (around pH 4.5-5.5).
Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but don’t overwater—blueberries dislike soggy roots!
Mulch with pine needles or bark to retain moisture and keep acidity high.
Prune lightly in winter to keep the plants productive year after year.
The best part? Blueberry plants live for decades if cared for properly. You’ll be enjoying plump, juicy blueberries for years to come.
