Procedure:


Soil Preparation:

Blueberries prefer acidic soil with a pH between 4.0 and 5.5. Use a well-draining potting mix specifically designed for acid-loving plants.
Planting Seeds:

Plant the blueberry seeds about 1/4 inch deep in small pots or seed trays filled with the acidic potting mix. Place one or two seeds per pot.
Covering Seeds:

Cover the pots or trays with plastic wrap or use a humidity dome to create a warm and humid environment for germination. This helps retain moisture during the initial stages.
Germination:

Place the pots or trays in a warm location or under grow lights. Blueberry seeds can take several weeks to months to germinate. Once the seedlings emerge, remove the cover.
Providing Light:

Blueberry seedlings require plenty of light. If growing indoors, provide them with at least 12-16 hours of sunlight daily or use grow lights.
Transplanting:

When the blueberry seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and are large enough to handle, transplant them into larger pots with the same acidic potting mix.
Outdoor Planting:

Blueberries thrive in well-draining, acidic soil. If transplanting outdoors, choose a location with full sun and soil that has been amended with organic matter. Test and adjust the soil pH as needed.
Watering:

Blueberries prefer consistently moist soil. Water the plants regularly, and use rainwater or distilled water if your tap water is alkaline. Avoid waterlogged conditions.
Fertilization:

Use a fertilizer formulated for acid-loving plants or specifically for blueberries. Follow the recommended application rates on the fertilizer package. Fertilize in spring and early summer.
Mulching:

Mulch around the base of the blueberry plants to retain soil moisture and inhibit weed growth. Use acidic mulch like pine straw or bark.
Pruning:

Blueberries benefit from regular pruning to maintain shape and encourage air circulation. Prune during the dormant season, removing old or dead wood.
