We recommend planting blueberries in pots because, here in the Napa Valley, our soil is not acidic enough to make these plants thrive. Blueberries require low Ph and actively decomposing soil, and Napa's native soil and water just doesn't cut it! But if you follow these steps, you can harvest handfuls of super sweet berries from your own container grown blueberry plants.

Step 1: Get your Blueberry bushes. Cross pollination means more berries for you! We recommend buying three different types of blueberries for maximum berry-bounty.

Step 2: Get your containers. Choose a container size to suit your plant. The blueberries we're selling now are all in 4 inch sleeves so they're best off being moved up to 2gal or 5gal container. (Next year you can move them into containers that are 16-20 inches wide.)

Step 3: Mix your soil. We recommend 1 part Micro Bark + 1 part Peat Moss + 1 part Acid Planting Mix + 1 handful of Soil Sulphur per plant.

Step 4: Care for your blueberries. Don't ever let your container dry out! Fertilize with an acid based fertilizer once a month from May until September. An organic fertilizer mix of cottonseed meal, fish meal, and feather meal has proven to be great blueberry food. And remember, blueberries love full sun.
