1 Blueberries require light, free-draining acidic soils, with plenty of rich, organic matter if they're to thrive. 2  The soil should have a lower pH of between 4 and 5.5, similar to the requirements of rhododendrons and camellias. 3  It's possible to lower the pH levels of your soil with sulphur chips or dust. After this, blueberries need regular pruning to maintain plant vigour and high quality berry production. 2  Prune them between November and March when the plant is dormant. 3  When pruning, take out any dead, dying and diseased wood. 4  Locate the oldest canes and remove one or two at the base each year.
