Gardening Secrets: How to Grow Sweet Blueberries Right in the Garden

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.
