Blueberry seedlings are expensive particularly in the tropics.imported .how many years will the germinated seedlings to produce berries.i have 2 here but look like mutated coz the leaves turned thinner and glossy.the soft stem easily rooted in acidic medium plus root inducing liquid .
you are in zone 9 or 10. blueberries can't survive in the ground in a desert climate naturally (only in a pot). Treat them as a part shade plant and you should be able to grow them on a patio with a 5 gallon pot :)
You can put banana peels in a jar of water and let it sit for 2 days, then water the blueberries with that water. Its acidic and they love the potassium
You say squeeze seeds out, but you put them in the soil cut in half?? What’s the correct way? Do you freeze the whole berry before cutting the berries??
Dont freeze seeds - it makes the seed hibernate and slows down germination. Blend the seeds in a blender, add lots of water and the seeds will float to the bottom. Toss out the water and berry skin. Put the wet seeds into a ziploc bag with a handful of sand. Put that bag in the refrigerator (not the freezer) for 3 to 4 weeks. Take the sand + seeds and dump it on top of a moistened dirt container. Spread it evenly on top. Cover the container with plastic saran wrap or a lid to trap moisture. Put in partial shade and wait two months while occasionally spritzing with water every week and putting the container lid back on. You should have blueberry seedlings ready to transplant into larger pots or outside at this point.

So do I freeze the whole berry for a month, or split them and get the seeds out first and then freeze?
Think about, what nature does ;)
easier to freeze them whole first
@@mygardenchannel thank you! Will try this.
Do we put them in the fridge or in the freezer?
I didn't freeze my berries nor cut them open. I simply placed my berries in potting soil. Will my seeds still sprout? Thanks!!
Did they sprout???
@@thedouglaspodcast doubt it
Mine didn’t
Is potting mix same as compost in the uk
in the UK, compost would be organic waste or soil amendment.
Thanks!
I have them under a grow light but no sprouting yet? It's been about 4 weeks?
It might not be the right season, so you just have to wait. Also, keep the soil moist but not wet

3-5 years from seedlings to produce, the first 2 years are slow growing.
can I grow a blueberry bush from dehydrated blueberry?
I bet you could! Try it:)
Thank you a lot 🙂👍
Can blueberries grown in the Arizona summer when it gets to 115?

When the blueberries get bigger do you separate them
100%
nice..
Thank you! Cheers!
How do you make acidic water?
coffee grinds
Thank you!!
