How to water potted blueberries

The roots of blueberries are relatively shallow and sensitive to water, so timely watering is extremely important. The soil in the pot should always be kept moist, and when watering, it must be watered thoroughly, with it being best if the water flows out from the bottom of the pot. However, water accumulation should be avoided to prevent root rot.

How to water potted blueberries at different times

Blueberries have different requirements for watering in different growing seasons. During the vegetative growth stage, appropriate moisture can always be maintained to promote healthy plant growth. During the development stage of blueberry fruits and before maturity, water must be reduced appropriately to prevent excessive vegetative growth from competing with the fruit for nutrients. After the fruit is harvested, the most suitable water supply can be restored to promote growth. In late autumn, it is necessary to reduce water appropriately so that the plants can enter dormancy in time.

How to water potted blueberries

The roots of blueberries are shallow and they like moisture, so timely watering is extremely important. When watering potted blueberries, you need to pay attention to the water source and water quality. Because the pH value of deep well water is usually high and it contains high levels of sodium and calcium, long-term use is not conducive to the growth of blueberries. Therefore, you can use sulfuric acid to adjust the pH value of deep well water to about 4.5-5.5 before watering. Generally, you should water with acid water after about 3 waterings.
