Blueberries are very easy to grow in most areas.

This is the most important rule of all. These plants HAVE to have acid conditions to thrive.

Water.
A gentle watering every few days is not the best way to treat a blueberry, especially in hot weather. Soak them well, checking that the water has penetrated well into the soil or pot. But dont keep them flooded! A happy medium must be sought at all times!

Pruning.
Blueberries benefit from an annual prune, especially when mature. More details can be found in our pruning section.
