How to grow the Blueberry Plant
“Blueberry plants need full sun to grow and fruit well, and to avoid common diseases. Each of the plants are self-fertile; however, blueberries will bear more fruit with multiple plants.
Planting
Plant your blueberries in early spring. You can mix some peat moss into your planting hole, to keep the soil loose, acidic and well-draining. If you have only two or three plants, space them about 4-5 feet apart. Plant blueberries so that the roots are spread out in the hole and completely covered in soil. Mulch after planting. Evergreen wood chips, like pine or cedar, sawdust, and pine needles will help keep the soil acidified. Be sure the plants get a deep watering at least once per week. Blueberries tend to be shallow-rooted and need at least a couple of inches of water each week, more during dry spells.”
