How to propagate blueberries?

Best time to propagate?

• Cuttings: Late summer or fall.
• Layering: Spring or fall.
• Dividing mature bushes: Spring.

How to do it?

1. Cuttings:

   • Take a 15 cm (6-inch) healthy shoot.
   • Remove lower leaves and plant in moist soil.
   • Keep in a warm, humid place until roots develop.

2. Layering:

   • Bend a low-hanging branch and bury part of it in the soil.
   • Once rooted, cut it off and transplant.

3. Dividing old bushes:

   • Dig up a large bush and split it into sections with roots.
   • Replant immediately and water well.

💡 Tip: Blueberries love acidic soil—use peat moss or pine bark!
