Blueberry cuttings require a warm, humid environment to root successfully. Place the pots in a location with indirect sunlight, as direct sunlight can scorch the cuttings. A temperature range of 65-75°F is ideal. If necessary, use a heat mat to maintain consistent warmth. Mist the cuttings regularly to keep the humidity high, but ensure the soil remains moist, not waterlogged, to prevent rot.

Monitor your cuttings daily, ensuring they remain moist and free from pests or diseases. After a few weeks, gently tug on the cuttings to check for resistance, indicating root development. Once roots have formed, gradually acclimate the cuttings to lower humidity by removing the plastic cover for increasing periods each day.

When the cuttings have developed a robust root system, they are ready to be transplanted. Choose a sunny location with acidic, well-draining soil. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the cutting in the hole, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly to help the plant settle in and eliminate air pockets.

To ensure your new blueberry plants thrive, provide them with regular care. Water them deeply once a week, especially during dry spells. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize with an acid-loving plant fertilizer in early spring and again in late summer. Prune annually to remove dead or weak branches and encourage healthy growth.
