Description
Blueberries require acidic soil (pH 4–5) and will struggle in ordinary garden soil. They thrive in bog soil or in containers with rhododendron soil.
Care instructions
Half shade to full sun, acidic soil is mandatory. Water only with rainwater—tap water is usually too hard. Mulch with pine needles.
