Potting On Plants - Broadway - 31-01-2021

Morning Folks

I intend to pot on my blueberries and think going from a 30 to 40cm pot will suffice?

Next time they move will be into the ground, probably in autumn/winter.

Pot into the next size up - whatever that may be.

Why move into ground in the Autumn Danny.If they are in 30cm pots now they should have a well  established root system?

Potted fruit bushes can be planted out at any time. You do need to make sure you have ericaceous soil/compost for them to go in to though.
I could understand you potting into bigger pots if they were going to stay in pots or if the area for them hasn't been prepared yet though?

It's the latter Vinny, I have other priorities at the moment. I could leave them but thought it might at least get me a crop this year??
