• Cultivation of highbush blueberry (commonly called blueberry)
• Cranberry cultivation
• Transplanting in gardens, allotments, home fruit and vegetable gardens, for flower pots on terraces and balconies
• Peat
• Bark
• Sand
• Compost
• NPK fertilizer
• Salinity: < 2,5g/l
• Strcture: 0-40mm
• The best planting date is spring or fall
• The product is mechanically pressed, before use it is recommended to loosen and, if necessary, when the substrate is dry, soak it with water
• The day before transplanting, the plant should be watered abundantly
Transplanting
• Highbush blueberry and cranberry are planted in a sunny position sheltered from the wind
• Blueberry bushes are planted in the ground for blueberries and cranberries spaced preferably every 1.5-2 m
• To plant blueberries, dig a pit with a recommended diameter of about 40 cm and a depth of about 50 cm
• It is recommended that the diameter of the pit be about 30% larger than the diameter of the root ball
• Prepared pit fill Earth for blueberry and cranberry, and then plant plants
• Whisk the whole well around the plant
Cranberries
• For cranberry cultivation, we recommend preparing a 20 cm well, which will be filled with blueberry and cranberry substrate
• Cranberry bushes are planted spaced preferably 30 x 30 cm
• Whisk the whole well around the plant
• After planting, the plant should be watered abundantly
• We recommend mulching with bark or acid peat after planting
• We recommend starting fertilization 6-8 weeks after planting with fertilizer for acidophilic plants
Blueberry
• Highbush blueberries can also be grown in pots on sunny and sheltered balconies, terraces and conservatories
• Transplanting begins when the roots begin to grow over the pot
• We always transplant into a pot 1 or 2 cm larger
• Fill the bottom of the pot with expanded clay, and then cover with a thin layer of earth to blueberry and cranberry
• Place the plant in the prepared pot and cover it with blueberry and cranberry substrate tightly filling all the free spaces, then knead the whole pot well
• After transplanting, the plant should be watered abundantly
• We recommend starting fertilization 6-8 weeks after planting with blueberry fertilizer
Advices
• After planting, the plant should be watered abundantly
• We recommend mulching with bark or acid peat after planting
• We recommend starting fertilization 6-8 weeks after planting with blueberry fertilizer
• Highbush blueberry and cranberry is very sensitive to lack of water
• Water the shrubs regularly, especially during drought
• Most blueberry varieties are self-pollinating, but clearly higher yields are obtained by planting different varieties next to each other
• Cutting and forming blueberries is necessary because pruned shrubs form strong growths, which leads to the formation of high-quality flower buds
• Seedlings with an uncovered root system, we plant as soon as possible to avoid over-drying of roots
• In the autumn after planting, we remember to mow the plants to protect against freezing
