For a young plant, a pot of around 20 liters is ideal. When the plant matures, that is, after the fourth year, you will need a 60-75 liter pot.

In winter, pots do not give the roots the same protection from the cold that the soil does, which is why it is recommended to insulate them by applying hay to the bottom.

Blueberry plants   like acidic soil, with a low pH (between 4.5 and 5). To make acidic soil, you can add peat moss, cottonseed meal, or a compost made from pine bark and leaves.

Blueberries begin to bear fruit after the third year of age. Most blueberry plants are capable of self-pollination, but to be safe we ​​can plant two plants together, coming from different crops.

Blueberries need a lot of sun. Water frequently, but they will not grow well if the potting soil is consistently moist. Use a light soil with good drainage.

Blueberries are a very versatile fruit, ideal for sweet and healthy preparations.
