Toro Blueberry Bush – USDA Organic

Description

1. Planting: Choose an area with well-drained soil and full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day). Then, dig a hole that’s about twice the size of the root ball of the bush, place the Blueberry Bush in the hole, backfill, and water to settle the roots.
If you’re planting in a container, select a pot that’s about twice the width of your plant’s shipped container, and make sure it has drainage holes.

Use organic planting mix, place your plant, backfill the soil and water until you see it flowing from the drainage holes. Finally, place your pot in front of a sunny window or in a sunny area on your porch.

2. Watering: Water your plant about once or twice weekly to keep the soil moist. If you’re not sure when to water, check the soil about 2 or 3 inches down – if it’s dry, water your plant.

3. Fertilizing: Fertilize the Blueberry Bush twice a year, once in the spring and once after you harvest, with an organic fertilizer blend.

4. Pruning: Thin out the lower limbs of your bush to keep the fruit from touching the soil. You can also thin out excessively vigorous upright shoots several feet from the ground to keep the center of the bush open and to keep the fruit-bearing surface within reach. Spindly, weak, or dead branches should be thinned out annually during the dormant season.
