| I have rooted blueberry cuttings that I want to plant in one gallon pots. Can you help me with an acid loving plant potting soil formula? |
Follow-Up Postings:
|
| Pine bark fines and spaghnum peat moss 50:50 works good. The peat moss will work by itself. |
|
| if you want the easy way out...most garden centers sell potting mixes for acid loving plants (azealas, etc.). This has worked well for my sister. |
|
| I use the DWN suggested mix. It's worked well for me for a few years now, and I've been bringing in lots of berries since early April. |

| I have used 1/3 peat, 1/3 potting soil, and 1/3 pine bark mulch (fine). Also a little sprinkle with Hollytone for acid loving plants. I do the occasional coffee grounds or watering with 1/3 coffee and 2/3's water and mine look great. Have some in pots and some out in the garden. |
