Caring For Your New Blueberry Bushes
When you buy blueberry bushes online you will receive your plants in the mail. For the most part you will find that the blueberry bushes are packed in root potted peat moss, and some of the leaves may have wilted. This is expected and your blueberry plant is not harmed.
Carefully remove the bush from the packaging, and take care with the root and plant stems. Water the peat moss root ball.
Plant directly the blueberry bush into the soil that you have prepared using your pH soil meter 4.5 to 5.5., the proper pH is needed to prevent transplant shock, and for future fruit production.
If you can’t plant directly cover the root ball with damp peat moss and a wet towel. Exposed roots will cause your blueberry bush to die.
Follow the how to plant a blueberry bush directions. You can find those here. Remember to spread out the roots, so that your blueberry plants roots spread out and do not circle up inside the hole.
Water is the final element of keeping your blueberry bush healthy and happy. You will need to water every other day for the first year, and mulch with pine mulch, wood chips, compost leaves, and or saw dust to retain moisture.
Finding blueberry plants for sale online is easy, and I believe that you will get healthier blueberry bushes if you buy blueberry bushes online because at your local home improvement garden center the blueberry bushes are crammed tightly into trucks for transport which can damage the roots and branch stems, and if the root balls go dry, or are not watered you will not have healthy plant to put in the ground.
