- Water: prefers rainwater, low in lime.
- Pruning: light pruning after harvest to stimulate new shoots.
- Fertilizer: add organic amendment in spring to support flowering.
Water without soaking: the blueberry hates stagnant water but likes constant freshness.
Decor ideas & plant pairings

- To pair with: strawberries, raspberries, or herbs like mint and lemon verbena.
- Ideal setting: natural terrace, edible garden, or sunny balcony.
- Recommended pot: terracotta or lightweight pot with a minimum diameter of 25 to 30 cm.
Its compact silhouette and changing foliage make it both a decorative and nourishing plant.

Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.

What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
