How To Grow Blueberries At Home In Containers

Planting Blueberries Once you have your container and soil ready, it's time to plant your blueberries. Follow these steps: Planting Time: The best time to plant blueberries in containers is in early spring or late fall when the weather is mild. Spacing: If you're planting multiple blueberry bushes in one container, make sure to space them at least 2 feet (60 cm) apart. Depth: Dig a hole in the potting mix that's slightly deeper than the root ball of the blueberry plant. Fertilization: Blueberries are sensitive to over-fertilization. Use a slow-release, acid-forming fertilizer according to package instructions or opt for organic alternatives.
