If you are a blueberry lover, you can grow your own. In the article, we will talk about the care and secrets of growing blueberries at home.
Blueberry care rules
Berries prefer a place where there is a lot of sun. Choose well-drained, acidic soil with a pH of 4.5-5.5.
Plant the plant in winter or autumn in open soil and at any time in pots.
Plant cuttings 3 feet apart.
Blueberry bushes in your garden will not only produce berries, but also decorate your garden.
Blueberries contain many useful substances for the human body: vitamins and antioxidants.
To protect the berries from birds, use a plant protection net.
Light
Blueberries grow well in sunlight for at least 6-8 hours a day.
Sunlight helps the plant bear fruit, grow foliage and flowers.
Soil
Choose acidic, loose, sandy soil.
If the soil is clay, add peat moss or grow berries in pots.
Watering
As a rule, the plant is watered once a week. If the area is drier, water the berries more often.
Temperature conditions
Blueberry is a cold-resistant plant until the first flower buds appear.
Wrap bushes in strong winds and extreme conditions.
Since blueberries are sensitive to certain types of fertilizers, be careful when feeding.
Use organic fertilizers and compost.
