Let's read ahead to learn more about the different blueberry varieties to grow at home.

HOW TO GROW BLUEBERRIES

If you want the plants to grow well, make sure they get enough sunlight and water during the growing period (from March to September). You should harvest your blueberries between July and October. As an option, if you want a continuous supply of fruits throughout summer and autumn, you can prune your blueberry plants by late winter/early spring before new growth starts (for example February-March). The best time for pruning blueberry plants is in a cloudy day with a temperature above 60 °F (16 °C).

Blueberries need well-drained, acidic soil. You can make your own compost or buy ready-made ones to add into the planting hole. Make sure that you dig deep and wide holes to accommodate the roots of the plants when you add nutrients to the ground. If you want to grow blueberries in pots, choose an 8-inch pot size for dwarf plants, a 12-inch pot for full-grown plants, and plant three blueberry plants per pot.

It's also important to remember not to use saucers underneath because they will collect water and lead to root rot.

If you want your blueberry plants to produce fruit faster, you can buy or make compost tea to fertilize them. It is easy to make compost tea, the ingredients are readily available at home, and it will help your blueberries stay healthy while growing in poor soil.
