Blueberry Planting Guide

Blueberry

1. Choose a Planting Location:
Blueberries need full sun 🌞 but can tolerate light shade. Choose a location with acidic, well-drained soil (pH 4.5-5.5).

2. Prepare the Soil:
Blueberries thrive in soil rich in organic matter 🌾. Amend the soil with peat moss to ensure proper acidity.

3. Planting Instructions:
Plant blueberry seeds 1/4 inch deep and space them 18-24 inches apart 🌍. For rows, leave 4-5 feet between rows.

4. Watering Requirements:
Blueberries need consistent moisture 💧, especially during fruiting. Water deeply but ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogging.

5. Germination Time:
Blueberry seeds typically germinate in 30-60 days ⏳.

6. Ongoing Care:
Prune plants in early spring to remove dead wood 🫐. Fertilize with an acidic fertilizer and mulch to retain moisture.
