How to plant blueberries at home?

Blueberries should be planted in sun or partial shade. In addition, this shrub thrives in very acidic soil, well-drained and free of limestone. If your garden is not suitable, you can plant the shrub in a fairly wide container and line the bottom with a layer of clay pebbles or gravel. Then it is necessary to fill the tray with heather soil, 1/10 compost or potting soil to ensure that the substrate retains water as well as possible. Additionally, to get a good harvest, try planting your shrubs in the fall to encourage root formation. If you plant them in spring, remember to water them regularly so they can grow optimally.

How do I care for the blueberry tree?

From March onwards, the blueberry bush must be supplied with a special rhododendron fertilizer. It is necessary to mulch the shrub with pine bark or pine needles in the fall to maintain the acidity of the soil. In dry climates, make sure to water regularly and use lime-free water. During the winter, remember to remove dead wood without trimming the blueberry tree. In addition, the blueberry is propagated by cuttings, division and layering.

Thanks to these tricks, you can   plant your own fruit bushes and   save money.
