Exposure
Find a sunny spot that is sheltered from the wind. It is self-fruitful, however will do even more fruits if two different cultivars are planted (X Pollination). If you have a garden or a balcony, don't hesitate to take your plant out on sunny days, but don't forget to shelter it in winter!
Watering
Its important to use acidic water pH 5 for all blueberry bush (do not use city water with pH 7). Tip to get acidic water, squeeze half lemon fruit in your watering can. In summer/spring, we recommend frequent watering of 2 to 3 watering per week. In winter/autumn, water every 10 to 15 days. It is important to keep the soil slightly moist, BUT important note, all citrus tree hates having its roots in standing water!
