Blueberries are a delicious fruit and full of nutrients, and it's fun to grow them at home. They can be planted in the ground, but as compact plants, they also do very well in pots. Not only is this ideal for smaller outdoor spaces, but it's also the best approach for backyards with alkaline soil – these plants thrive in an acidic environment and it's easy to offer this in pots by using ericaceous compost.
Plant blueberries in spring or in the fall, into a container with a diameter of at least 12 inches – this should accommodate the plant for at least a couple of years. Add broken crockery at the bottom of the container to improve drainage. Ensure they get plenty of sun and are relatively sheltered.
