Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum)

Blueberries love aerated soil, ideally with a pH of 4.0 – 5.2. Sufficient oxygen in the area of the roots is an important prerequisite for good plant development. Any compaction and waterlogging of the substrate reduces plant vitality and hence the yield. Substrates worth considering are wood chippings, bark chippings, conifer sawdust, coconut fibre and coarse white peat. Both round and square containers are possible as pots, but pot size is important. In order to have a certain amount of leeway and avoid winter frost damage in the area of the roots, you should use at least 50-litre pots.
