What are the best months to plant blueberries?

When to plant blueberries

If blueberries are planted outdoors, they are generally planted in spring from March to May, and can also be sown in autumn from September to October. The climate and temperature at these two times are relatively suitable. If they are planted indoors, as long as the temperature is suitable, they can be sown all year round.

Blueberry harvest time/flowering time

Blueberries usually mature in June and July, so they can be harvested and put on the market at this time. If they are wild, it will take a little longer, usually in July, August, or even September to mature. July is its peak production period.

Blueberry planting methods and key points

1. Seedlings: When planting blueberries, you need to choose varieties with higher yields and fewer diseases and pests. You can choose seedlings that are 2-3 years old and relatively strong. This way, they will grow better after planting and will be easier to maintain.

2. Potting soil: Blueberries generally grow in weakly acidic soil, so when planting, you need to use loose and permeable humus soil, and the flower pots used must also be breathable. Generally, clay pots or ceramic pots are used.

3. Fertilizer and water: Blueberries are relatively resistant to waterlogging, so they must be watered thoroughly during planting, but at normal times, just keep the soil moist. In the early stages of planting, some decomposed fertilizer needs to be applied, and then fertilizer should be applied once every half a month.
