He is an old man now.

Too many strawberry plants! Time to cut the runners.

Tuber had sprouted a plant!

Healthy Pumpkins on a trellis 🙂.

One of the most colorful chilli I have seen 🙂.

Multiple new leaves on the blueberry🙂. Transplanting it was a success.

Anyone else facing the same? I am on iOS.

Update: Same on desktop as well.

Blueberry Berryland Blue No 1 has a new home filled with pre acidified soil. Acidic Soil Mix with Sphagnum Peat Moss & Pine Bark.

Time to prep a bigger growbag for lower the soil pH level. Will mix Elemental Sulphur and Sphagnum Peat Moss and let it sit for a few months to a year.

Hi All,

I receive my Bluerryberry Berryland Blue No 1 from Veliyath Garden yesterday. As promised, have added some pics.

• Plant is very healthy and it's not a sampling. Happy about this.
• Was very well packed. And was safe for the plant too. Had ordered 6 plants. All were very well packed.
• Soil still had moisture.
• Had epsom salt on the soil too.

Very happy with the plant, packing and delivery. Will be buying from them again.

Pumpkins have started to show up. And there are plenty of buds.

Hi all,

I recently got my hands on a BlueBerry Plant : "Berry Land Number One/Berryland Blue No.1". It's a zero-chill, heat-tolerant blueberry variety specifically bred to thrive in India's tropical and subtropical climates. It can withstand temperatures exceeding 40°C. It will arrive in a couple of weeks. I love blueberries and this is the first time I have something that can grow in this weather. I am super excited.

I do understand that it requires highly acidic soil with an ideal pH maintained strictly between 4.5 and 5.2. As you can see in the picture, current pH is around 7. I just got the growbag and soil (clayish soil+cocopeat+vermicompost+perlite) ready today.

I plan on adding elemental sulphur (at least something like this(https://amzn.in/d/0jhWcTpe). I do understand that it will take a couple of months for the pH to go down.

My research:

From my preliminary calculations, to lower the pH of 1.5 sq ft(1.5ft of diameter and height of the grow bag) of clayish soil from 7 to 5, I will need approximately 110 to 150 grams of elemental sulfur.

Because clay soils are "buffered" and resist pH changes, they require up to 50% more sulfur than sandy soils.

I am pretty sure, the plant I receive will be a sapling. So, I have a couple of questions:

• Will it survive in the soil with a pH of 7?
• Should I plant elsewhere till the pH of the soil in growbag comes down to avoid root burn? (I can make do by buying already acidic soil for a smaller pot https://amzn.in/d/0eTrKNdW)
• Is my research correct?
• To lower the pH of the soil, is the elemental sulphur enough? I have plenty of Sphagnum Peat Moss. Should I mix that into the soil too?
• Is there a better way to lower the pH?
• Finally, Is there any really good pH meter that you would recommend? This is the best I have found : https://amzn.in/d/00ARwyh7.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone for the help.

The method I will be trying out:

I do not want to take a risk.

Will be planting the blueberry sapling in a smaller grow bag with already acidic soil(https://amzn.in/d/0eTrKNdW)

Will get the soil in the bigger growbag prepped to lower the pH level. Will mix Elemental Sulphur and Sphagnum Peat Moss and let it sit for a few months to a year. Before I move the plant into the bigger grow bag.

Hi All,

In an effort to get this sub going, posting my terrace garden after rains.

I like growing veggies, fruits and a bit of flowers.

Hope more people start posting.

Looks like BRPL online store is down.
