Location: Plant your Pink Lemonade Blueberry in a sunny to partially shaded spot with well-draining soil. Morning sun is ideal for optimal fruit production.
Soil: Blueberries prefer acidic soil with a pH level between 4.5 and 5.5. You can amend the soil with peat moss or compost to achieve the right pH.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season. Avoid letting it dry out or become waterlogged.
Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as pine straw or wood chips, around the base of the plant to retain moisture and deter weeds.
Pruning: Prune your Pink Lemonade Blueberry in late winter or early spring to remove dead or crowded branches and promote better air circulation.
