1. Choose the Right Location
Blueberries love sun! Make sure your plant gets at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight per day.

2. Soil Matters
Blueberries need acidic soil (pH 4.5–5.5). If your soil is too alkaline, use soil acidifiers like sulfur or special acidic compost to adjust the pH.

3. Prune Regularly
Annual pruning in late winter or early spring removes old, unproductive wood and encourages new growth – which means more flowers and fruit.

4. Water Consistently
Blueberries have shallow roots. Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during flowering and fruiting. Avoid overwatering or letting the soil dry out.

5. Feed Properly
Use a fertilizer for acid-loving plants in early spring and again after flowering. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers – they promote leaves, not fruit.

6. Mulch for Protection
A layer of pine bark or pine needles helps retain moisture and keeps the soil acidic.

7. Plant More Than One Variety
Many blueberries produce better with cross-pollination. Planting two or more compatible varieties can significantly improve yield.
