The key considerations for planting blueberry plants are soil pH, drainage, organic matter content, and watering schedule. Blueberry plants require acidic soil with a pH of 4.0-5.0 and high in organic matter. They prefer a pH closer to 4.5, which can be achieved by adding elemental sulfur. Adequate watering, at least 1 inch per week during growing season and up to 4 inches per week during fruit ripening, is important for optimal growth. Bare-root shrubs should be planted in spring and spaced 4-6 feet apart. Blueberries grow best in soils with a pH of 4.5-4.8. They also require full sun exposure and thrive in soil that is low in pH, high in organic matter, and has adequate moisture. Adding peat moss can improve the soil conditions for successful blueberry growth.
