Blueberries are a tasty and nutritious berry. This beautiful shrub you can grow in the garden.
How to grow blueberries in the garden
Blueberries are easy to grow. The shrub does not require much attention.
The most important thing when growing is acidic soil and rainwater for irrigation.
If the soil is not acidic, you can grow the shrub in a pot.
In addition, blueberries need sun to grow well. Therefore, plant the bush in a place that receives direct sunlight.
Since blueberries like acidic soils, water them using rainwater.
It is also important to feed the plant during the growing season - once a week.
Fertilize the shrub weekly with a liquid food formulated for acid-loving plants.
How to prune blueberries
Blueberries do not need pruning in the first two years of life.
At this time, it is enough to remove the protruding branches.
However, once established, prune the shrub regularly in late winter or early spring.
During this period, it is easier to distinguish fruit buds from leaf buds.
Fruit buds are rounder and thicker than leaf buds.
