What are the effects and effects of blueberries? Soil acidity requirements for how blueberries are planted and maintained

Blueberry (Blueberry) particles are small, but the nutritional value is very high, he contains high amounts of antioxidant plant nutrients, especially anthocyanins; in the prevention of myopia, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, dementia…plays an important role.

More and more gardening friends are trying to grow their own blueberries, but to grow blueberries successfully, they just need to pay more attention to care, apply acid fertilizer two or three times a year, trim branches, and maintain soil acidity. You can grow blueberries in your own yard.

After three years of blueberry planting, the five blueberry bushes in the backyard are finally bearing more fruit this year. I hope the birds in the backyard who often come uninvited will be kind and leave some fruit for us to eat.

My Blueberry Planting Experience

Blueberries prefer well-drained, acidic, organic-rich soils. Whether it is planted as a potted plant or planted on the ground, the general soil pH requirement is 4.5-5.5, and the organic matter content in the soil generally needs 8%-12%; family potted plants and ground plants can buy humus soil (potting soil or garden soil) common in flower nurseries, or depending on their own conditions, add peat, rotten moss or sawdust, pine bark and other organic matter, and add some sulfur every month.

Blueberries grow with shallow and wide roots, so water them daily to keep the soil moist during the hot season. A layer of pine needles, pine chips, or used coffee grounds is a good way to retain soil moisture. Early spring is the best season for planting or pot changing before budding.

Blueberries like sunshine, so choose a place with 4 to 6 hours of sunshine. In addition, blueberries have the characteristics of cold resistance and fear of high temperature, so in the summer and autumn seasons when branches and leaves grow, if there is a high temperature close to 90 degrees Fahrenheit or above, it is necessary to add a sunshade net to blueberry plants to block part of the sunlight and heat, reduce water evaporation, and prevent new buds from being sunburned.

Different varieties of blueberry fruit trees have different requirements for plant height, flowering period and soil acidity. Planting two or more varieties of blueberries with similar flowering dates can increase cross-pollination and greatly improve the success rate of blueberry fruiting.

Sunshine-blue berry has less requirements for soil acidity and cold hours, so it is very suitable for beginners.

·Fertilization & Care: Maintaining soil acidity and keeping soil moist is one of the key factors for healthy growth and success of blueberry fruit trees. It is recommended to dilute 1000 ml of water with 1 tablespoon of 3-5% vinegar and apply it once a month, or sprinkle some sulfur around the plant.

Before flowering in early spring (February), after fruit harvest in early summer (May), and before defoliation in August, acid fertilizer should be added to blueberry trees, or culture soil suitable for acid plants should be added. Camellia, rhododendron, hydrangea like acidic soil, the market has sold suitable for these flowers dedicated culture soil, fertilizer, with them to care for, planting blueberries are very suitable.

·Pruning and combing branches: Blueberry fruit branches are usually old branches grown in the previous year. The thicker the branches, the more new shoots and flowers will be produced. Winter leaves to early spring before the new shoots, pruning, thinning the best time. New blueberry plants (first two years) usually do not require pruning. When pruning branches, pay attention to pruning off the black branches or sick branches damaged by winter frostbite, and then trim the interlaced and curved small branches to keep the healthy blueberry branches.

Blueberry fruit trees like ~ growing location, soil requirements, sunshine, moisture conditions above how many can you do? Try creating an environment that blueberries love. You can grow blueberries in your backyard.
