My Blueberry plant at home | #shorts #viral #garden

Blueberry bushes may be planted at any time of year as long as the ground isn’t frozen. Dig a hole twice the size of the root-ball, spreading the roots as you refill the hole to the base of the stem. Press the soil down with the heel of a boot. Though tolerant of light shade, blueberry bushes in the sunniest spots will produce the most abundant crops. A single blueberry plant will bear fruit, but your harvest will be bigger and better if more than one plant is grown to allow them to cross-pollinate.

Blueberry bushes require an acid soil to thrive, so if acid-loving rhododendrons, heather or camellia do not thrive in your garden then you can grow blueberries in pots of well-drained ericaceous compost. When you need to re-pot your blueberry, choose a pot just a few inches larger. Ensure the pot has adequate drainage holes and put some gravel or crocks in the bottom. We recommend using a terracotta, rather than plastic, container.

Blueberry bushes don’t require a great deal of maintenance, any pruning should be done with care because too vigorous or careless snipping could result in a poor harvest. Any pruning should happen in winter after leaf-fall when the plant is dormant and whilst blueberries will not require pruning for the first few years of growth, you may wish to snip down any long and leggy canes to encourage branching growth.

Blueberries should be planted either in fall by mid-October or in early spring after severe freeze danger has passed. When you receive your plants, check them to make sure that they look healthy and the roots are moist. For best results, planting should be done within a day or two of arrival.
