The blueberry bush must be planted in the sun or partial shade. In addition, this shrub thrives in very acidic, well-drained soil that is free of limestone. If your garden is not suitable, you can plant the shrub in a fairly large container and line the bottom with a layer of clay balls or gravel. Then, you will need to fill the container with heather soil, 1/10 compost or potting soil to ensure that the substrate retains as much water as possible. In addition, to have a good harvest, try to plant your shrubs in the fall to encourage rooting. If you plant them in the spring, remember to water them regularly to allow them to grow optimally.

From March, you will need to give the blueberry bush a special rhododendron fertilizer. The shrub will need to be mulched with pine bark or pine needles in the fall to preserve the acidity of the soil. When the climate is dry, make sure that watering is regular and use non-calcareous water. In winter, remember to remove dead wood without pruning the blueberry bush. In addition, the blueberry bush can be propagated by cuttings, division and layering.
