Blueberry Bush Care

Water regularly after planting until established, or in periods of drought. Its ideal soil is moist, rich, acidic, loamy, and well draining. 

Grow in full sun.

Fertilizations will accelerate growth and keep your plant well fed. We suggest using our slow release fertilizer, or something similar.

Prune in winter, being sure to remove the old, dead growth.

Attempt to keep soil moist but not wet. Mulching the base of the plant with untreated mulch will help ensure moist, cool soil.
