Blueberry Repotting Set

Repotting in eight steps

1. Check the plant and root ball

   Check whether the roots fill the pot densely or the root ball absorbs water unevenly. Choose a frost-free, preferably mild day. Prepare compost, a suitable pot and low-lime water. The blueberry’s species and eventual size determine the space it needs.

2. Choose a suitable container

   The new pot needs drainage holes, stability and room around the existing root ball. Its size should suit the shrub. Leave a watering rim. The amount of compost needed is the empty space around and below the root ball, not the full pot volume.

3. Keep drainage clear

   Check the base and final position of the pot. Excess water must drain freely; the container must not sit permanently in a full saucer. An arrangement using coarse material and permeable fleece is optional. An extra layer replaces neither clear drainage holes nor careful watering.

4. Ease out the root ball

   Moisten a dry root ball before removing it. Ease it carefully out of the old container and support it from below. Do not pull on the branches. Preserve fine roots where possible and gently loosen dense circling roots at the edge.

5. Set the previous planting depth

   Add some compost and test the root ball’s position. Its old surface should remain level with the planned new compost surface. Adjust the height using compost below the ball. Do not bury the bases of the shoots more deeply; leave space below the pot rim.

6. Fill around the sides and firm lightly

   Add fresh compost around the ball in small amounts. Keep the plant upright and close larger gaps. Firm only lightly without compressing the compost hard. Check the planting depth and watering rim again.

7. Water slowly and evenly

   Water in several gentle passes until the old root ball and fresh compost are thoroughly moistened. Prefer rainwater or other low-lime water. Check that water drains from the base. Empty surplus water from saucers or outer pots rather than leaving the roots standing in it.

8. Support establishment

   Position the container to suit the blueberry species. Over the next few days, check moisture in both the old root ball and the fresh compost. The compost is pre-fertilised. Its label specifies supplementary feeding after 6–8 weeks; allow for season, growth and previous nutrition.

Prepare the fertiliser separately

5 ml per 1 l of water.

Every 1–2 weeks during the growing season.

Usual application period: April/May–September.

1. Shake

   Shake the concentrate before use.

2. Prepare water

   Pour the required amount of water into a suitable container.

3. Select strength

   Use standard 100%, young plants 50%, or seedlings with leaves 20% of the basic dilution. Concentration does not determine the watering volume needed.

4. Measure concentrate

   Measure the calculated amount accurately with a suitable measuring aid.

5. Mix

   Add the concentrate to the water and mix evenly.

6. Apply as needed

   Feed the already moist root ball when nutrients are needed; do not overwater using a rigid water volume.

Do not mix the entire bottle into the bag. The compost is ready to use; dilute the concentrate separately with water.
