If you live in a warmer climate but still want to grow delicious blueberries…you’re in luck. I actually thought this wasn’t possible, but got my hands on some low chill hour varieties that work really well for smaller spaces.
So if you want to grow blueberries in containers, these are some of my tips for getting them planted, making sure your soil pH is correct, and mulching so you don’t lose moisture as they’re quite a shallow-rooted plant.

Can you grow more than 2 or 3 blueberry tree in one pot?
Great video. Do you mind telling me were you bought the soil from?
Me and my mom just realized the plant my sister gave us was blueberries, we thought it grew cute little flowers but today i started to notice the berries growing and i was like no wayyy
I have pH down that I use in my Hydroponics. Can I use this to lower pH of water before watering my container blueberries? Will this keep the soil at a lower pH for longer?
Prices?
I was just thinking of buying some this week. Does this company ship to Los Angeles by any chance?
1. How much is 1 inch water in regular speak?
2. What is chill hour time?
I put mine in the ground. I'm hoping for a wind breaking hedge row someday. All highbush.
So you dont fertilize all summer? I potted up two and wondering do I just let them be ? Im growing lemon and lime potted and its my understanding to fertilize once per month or every two weeks
Can you grow these in grow bags too?
Thanks
I cant find acidic potting soil, can I use regular potting mix and add peat moss? do a 50-50 combination? And add a handful of perlite in a 16inch container like yours.

I could really use about 300 chill hours right about now
Where can I buy these kinds of blueberries plants?
I bought one of these varieties (I think the pink sorbet) 2-3 years ago, and still have it growing in a huge pot in the backyard. The plant itself seems winter hardy and healthy; it has survived two cold, snowy winters, and has put on new growth in the summers. I've added blueberry-specific soil amendments from time to time. But it has never set fruit for me, whereas it was loaded with berries when I purchased it. I'm guessing it is either not getting enough sunlight or is stagnating since I don't have other varieties planted nearby to cross-pollinate. If others have experienced these issues, I'd be curious to know what you've learned. Thanks!
I got one of these guys.
How do they fare in 65-68 degree weather?

Update? Also thoughts on planting clover in the container to add nitrogen?
