Blueberries need consistent moisture, especially during bloom and fruiting. Mulch to conserve moisture and reduce weeds. For best yields, prune lightly after harvest and remove older stems annually. Fertilize with an organic acid-loving plant food in spring. While self-fertile, plant near other Southern Highbush types like 'Emerald' or 'Misty' for bigger harvests.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sow Exotic","offers":[{"title":"Medium Coconut Coir Pot","offer_id":52258717761819,"sku":"B6-BLU-JEW-M","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1026\/6132\/5083\/files\/JewelBlueberryPlantsForSale-SowExotic.com.png?v=1779764248","url":"https:\/\/eldergroveexotics.com\/products\/blueberry-jewel-vaccinium-corymbosum","provider":"Eldergrove Exotics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
