Blueberries are relatively easy to look after. Keep the compost moist, but not soggy wet, and don’t allow the compost to dry out. If you can, water blueberries with rainwater, not with tap water, unless you have no alternative in a drought (tap water will raise the pH level).
Feed container plants every month using a liquid fertiliser formulated for ericaceous (lime-hating) plants, following the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Pruning is rarely needed in the first two years, but after that you should prune in late February to early March. Once you start pruning, you should aim to remove a proportion of old wood every year to keep the plant productive.
Plant in moist, well-drained, acidic soil in a sunny, sheltered spot. While blueberries are tolerant of shade, better crops (and autumn colour) are obtained in the sun.
