Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained, acidic soil. If your soil is not naturally acidic, amend it with peat moss or a soil acidifier. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root spread and set the plant at the same depth it was growing previously. Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the soil consistently moist, especially during the first growing season, but avoid waterlogged conditions. Apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize in early spring with an acid-loving plant fertilizer. Prune in late winter to remove dead or crossing branches and encourage new growth. With proper care, your Chandler Blueberry will reward you with bountiful harvests for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne Chandler Blueberry starter plug (bare root plant).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739753546038,"sku":"EDNA-208","price":58.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8074989356_t0mt.jpg?v=1792115117","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/chandler-blueberry-starter-plug-vaccinium-corymbosum-bare-root-plant","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
