The seedlings of blueberry are generally planted in spring. When planting, the roots of the seedlings are expanded and then filled with soil. The surface of the planting pit can be covered with a layer of straw, sawdust and bark, which can adjust the ground temperature and maintain the soil moisture. In addition, don't overdo it when fertilizing, just keep the soil moist when watering.

I. seedling planting

Generally, we choose to plant in spring, because it is easy to suffer from frost damage if it is not properly managed in autumn and winter. When transplanting seedlings, we can apply some acid peat soil or pre configured culture soil in the planting pit, then expand the root system of seedlings, cover the root system with soil, and fill it with soil.

2. Surface coverage

After planting, cover the surface of planting pit with a layer of straw, sawdust, bark, etc., which can adjust the ground temperature, prevent evaporation of surface water and maintain soil water.
