Blueberries are considered to be unpretentious crops, and this is a true statement.
When compared to other berries, caring for blueberries seems like a simpler task.
However, this does not mean that the plant does not have special needs, reminds the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an agronomist and landscape designer.
Why the berry does not want to produce a harvest
Inappropriate acidity level
If you want to collect a decent harvest of berries, then the acidity level should be maintained within the pH range from 4.5 to 5.5. Therefore, the indicators should be reduced to this level.
If the soil is more or less acidic, you can forget about the harvest.
Shadow
Some people think that blueberries will do just fine without proper lighting. This is a mistake. For good fruiting, the crop needs a sufficient amount of sunlight.
Also make sure that the crop is protected from drafts.
Top dressing
Many classic fertilizers (manure, bird droppings, etc.) are not suitable for feeding blueberries. It is worth choosing among complex industrial compositions.
