Choose a site or pot that receives plenty of sunlight, though some afternoon shade can be helpful in hot climates. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil evenly moist while the plant establishes, taking care not to let the root zone dry out completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, maintain consistent moisture and avoid waterlogged conditions. A layer of mulch can help conserve soil moisture and moderate root temperatures. Container-grown plants may need more frequent watering than those in the ground. Prune lightly as needed to maintain shape and remove any damaged growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne Top Hat Dwarf Blueberry starter plant, approximately 3 to 4 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67862006169910,"sku":"FSG-086","price":76.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8104195205_9tl5.jpg?v=1793267607","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/1-top-hat-dwarf-blueberry-starter-plant-3-4-inch-vaccinium-angustifolium-patio-fruit-shrub","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
