You can use seeds straight from blueberry fruit and place them between moist tissue paper in a warm spot for 2-4 weeks. Once the seedlings develop roots, transfer them to pots filled with well-draining, acidic soil. Alternatively, you can purchase seeds from a nursery that suits your climate.
Blueberries thrive in soil that is between 4.5 and 5.5 pH acidic.
Pick a spot that gets at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day.
Keep the soil consistently moist, avoiding waterlogging. Regular, moderate watering is essential.
To help the plants retain moisture, mulch around them. To encourage strong new growth and get rid of dead branches, prune in the late winter.
When blueberries get plump and turn a rich blue colour, it's usually time to harvest them. Pick the berries gently, taking care not to harm the plant. Enjoy the taste of your fresh blueberries.
