Blueberries need acidic soil (pH 4.5-5.5). Not adjusting soil pH can lead to nutrient absorption issues and plant failure.
They require consistent moisture due to shallow roots. Balance is key; too much or too little water can stress plants.
Sensitive to high nitrogen. Use acid-loving plant fertilizers sparingly to avoid harming the bushes.
Mulching retains moisture, suppresses weeds, and maintains soil temp. Use organic mulch like pine bark.
Better yields with multiple varieties for cross-pollination. Increases harvest time and fruit set.
Annual pruning is necessary to remove dead branches, improve air circulation, and boost fruit production.
Blueberries need 4-6 hours of sunlight daily. Too much shade leads to poor fruiting and weak growth.
