How to Grow Blueberry Plants from Store-Bought Blueberries

1. Method 1: Seed Extraction with Pulp
– Selecting the Best Blueberries: Choose the largest blueberries available.
– Extracting the Seeds: Cut open the blueberries, remove the pulp to get clean seeds.
– Preparing for Competition: Add water to create a moist environment for seeds.

– Drying the Seeds: Dry cleaned seeds on a paper napkin; store for up to a month.
2. Method 2: Direct Planting of Seeds
– Selecting and Preparing the Soil: Use well-composted, aerated soil in a container with a lid.
– Planting the Seeds: Spread seeds evenly over soil surface, separate larger seeds if necessary.
– Creating Humidity: Sprinkle water gently, cover the container to maintain humidity.
– Providing Light and Warmth: Place container in a well-lit, warm area indoors for germination.
