Second, how to maintain potted blueberries?

1. Basin soil selection

Blueberries prefer acidic soil with a pH value of 4.5-5.5. Potted plants should pay attention to choosing loose and breathable soil rich in organic matter, which can be mixed with aged bark, sawdust, straw and decaying leaf soil to make potted soil. At the same time, it is recommended to use well-ventilated flowerpots, do not use pottery or porcelain pots, you can use tile pots or sand pots, plastic pots are also fine.

two。 Light

Light is essential for the growth of blueberries. if the long-term lack of light will lead to fewer flower buds and affect fruit quality, it can be combined with proper pruning, which is beneficial to the photosynthesis of potted blueberries. For potted blueberries on the balcony, you should also pay attention to ventilation.

3. Temperature

Potted blueberry is a very important factor to ensure fruit. It is necessary to ensure that winter blueberry is dormant under 7.2 ℃, and the lowest temperature varies with varieties. For example, as a flower ornamental, low temperature restrictions cannot be used.

4. Watering

Water source and water quality should be paid attention to when watering potted blueberries. because the pH value of deep well water is usually high, and it contains high sodium and calcium, long-term use is not conducive to the growth of blueberries. therefore, sulfuric acid can be used to adjust the pH value of deep well water to 4.5-5.5 and then irrigate. Generally, acid water should be irrigated again at intervals of about 3 times.

5. Fertilizer application

Blueberries can not be fertilized regularly, and a certain amount of organic matter can be added to the soil when planting. In the later stage, attention should be paid to the application of phosphate fertilizer as little as possible, mainly acid fertilizer.
