Planting & Care

Plant in well-draining potting soil, keeping the root ball level with the soil surface and avoiding overly compacted soil. Water regularly and deeply, especially during summer months, as blueberries have shallow roots and prefer consistently moist conditions. Apply heavy mulch around the base to help retain moisture and maintain soil acidity. Once the plant is established and leafed out, apply a blueberry-specific fertilizer as directed. Pruning is unnecessary until the third season when fruit production begins in earnest.
