Sorry to correct your Blueberry Video but the most important aspect of growing Blueberries is the PH of your soil. The Kellogg product that you used for your soil has a PH of 6.0-7.5. Blueberries have to have a PH of 4.5-5.5 in order to grow well and to produce fruit. You should have added some Sulphur to your soil mix and mixed 50% Spagnum Peat Moss to the Kellogg potting mix. The soil Acidifier that you added is a fertilizer and it takes too long to break down. Lastly, you need to do a PH test of the water that you use to water your plants. You might have to correct the PH of your water by adding white vinegar to it.

The best blueberry soil mix for containers for me is roughly, 30% ericaceous compost - 30% pine bark mulch - 40% peat moss, all mixed together, it makes a good airy organic compost with a PH of around 5 PH, then I water with rain water which is also around 5 PH. And I add (Elixir Gardens Bumper Crop Blueberry Special Fertiliser) 3-4 times a year, very good blueberry fert and very cheap for the amount you get... it has EVERYTHING blueberries need.

I have been putting pine bark mulch at the bottom of my blueberry containers rather than stones for 20+ years, as it's slightly acidic, I also mix it in with my ericaceous soil and peat moss mix for the blueberries, my plants love it, never had any issues, pine bark makes good drainage and a good airy acidic soil mix.

@judithstorck5195 Жыл бұрын

Yes, I ordered & received the pine bark mulch & will be mixing it in with the soil. So, after watching Charles' video I will be getting large wide containers & do what you do - put some pine bark at the bottom along with mixing it in & topping the soil. This will be a much better way to plant our Blueberries besides with the coming war we could actually grab up those planters & bring them inside so they won't get fall-out on them. So glad I saw this video before I planted the Blueberries in the garden. Win - Win. Thank you. Judi

For those beginners who want to grow blueberries in buckets: 01. Bucket 55l (15 gallon) 02. Soil from a pine forest 03. Mix the soil with pieces of sticks and pine bark 04. Pine bark mulch Purchased soil is dead soil. No doubt. Purchased fertilizer is not as good as slowly decaying sticks with pine bark. They gradually give the blueberries nutrients. If you really want to take care of the blueberry, it is a good idea to let pieces of pine bark stand in water for several weeks. As soon as the water "rusts", it also has a low ph, then water them. If you have blueberries in black buckets, they will heat up a lot in the sun and the roots will suffer. Either use white buckets or simply paint the black ones white or wrap them in paper or aluminum foil. One last piece of advice: the more varieties of blueberries, the more fruit you will have. Failure is not possible with this procedure

@traxmom 3 жыл бұрын

Charles, I really appreciate your videos and have learned a lot. I'd like to suggest that you reconsider your recommendation of adding gravel to the bottom of the pot to improve drainage. This is a long perpetuated myth and it actually makes drainage much worse causing the soil to retain water. Water doesn't transfer well from one medium to another. Check it out, there are lots of convincing articles on the internet about this. A better solution is to stick with adding the perlite to the potting mix (as you recommend).

@newcat8132 3 жыл бұрын

Not true whatsoever. When they say transferring from one medium to another they are talking about two different growing mediums. Gravel is not considered a growing medium by most horticulturalist.

My blueberries grow fine in the ground. Better than in pots. The key is soil acidification and mulch. If you have blueberries and live in an area where black walnuts are harvested get those hulls and mulch your bushes generously. Walnut hulls are acidic and the bushes love them. You can tell when your berries are happy by the color of the leaves.

Hi- I live in Phoenix, AZ where the temperatures have been about 112º during the day and 90º at night. About a month ago I purchased two O'Neal blueberry bushes and read that they needed another variety to cross pollinate. So I purchased a Sunshine Blue and placed the pot between the O'Neals. I potted them all as you have suggested including the IV Organic spray. I have been grinding dried banana peels for fertilizer. I water every morning at 5ish. My husband has suggested that I water at night also, since it is soo hot here. I don't want to over water, but that does make sense. Now a couple of leafs have brown areas. Is that from too much water or too much sun? The plants are on the east side of our house and have full sun until about 1PM and then bright shade. Thank you very much for the video and hopefully for your answer about growing blueberries in Phoenix!

Charles, I am on my 3rd year of growing blueberries and did not know that growing them in pots is better. If I planted in the ground in April can in mid June dig them up and transplant them in pots without killing them.

Hello Greg, I hear it over and over again, from so many professionals I work with... That of all fruits, blueberries do the best in pots.... primarily because the roots do not like being continuously wet, as would happen during the colder wet winter months. There is very little, to no risk of harm to your in-ground blueberries during the summer... but the highest risk of transplant shock than any other time of the year. Therefore, I would recommend that you do this (or any other transplanting that can wait) until early fall... around late September/ early October. Let me know if you have any other questions. Charles :-)

Charles, Thank you for your kind reply. The only reason I am asking is because I am on my 3rd year of trying to grow blueberries but I understand the shock issue. After watching your video on well drained blueberries I believe my first 2 attempts I have probably watered them too much. The soil is good soil not clay that they are planted in. So what is your recommendation being that they are already in the ground since April just water them really good 1 time a week.

Charles, Thank you for your kind reply. If I were to dig up my blueberries now in late June and put them in pots do I trim them back severely after potting them up. Just don't want to lose them for the 3rd year in a row.

Are those Loquats behind you. That is my next search. I have them but haven't researched their care yet

I do the citrus shuffle and saw the spray you used in this video also protects against sunburn on leaves. If I spray this product on my citrus leaves when I start taking my citrus outdoors, do I have to adapt them to the sunlight or will your product prevent the burn, thus preventing having to take my trees in and out multiple times each spring?

You don't need a drainage layer FYI.

I have a sunshine blue in a sleeve from Dave Wilson nursery do you know if it’s okay to just plant it in a five gallon container . I also use Kellogg raisedbed soil do you think it work with my bare root strawberries ??

@IVOrganic 6 жыл бұрын

Hello Tony, Sounds good! I would plant the strawberries near the perimeter with the hope that some of the strawberries would ripen off the edge of the container (as the free hanging strawberries typically ripen best, and remain naturally pest free better). Keep me posted on your blueberry & strawberry successes by later this spring/ early summer!!! Charles :-)

Thank you! Nice video. Do you think LA city compost would work instead of potting mix (with added vermiculite)? Some of my container plants standing on the ground grew roots through holes of their pots and clogged that holes. After the last big rain I had to drill new holes, because water was standing in some pots. I guess this will not happen with blueberries since they are shallow rooted.

If your roots have grown through the holes, it’s time for a bigger pot.
