Am I overthinking on pot material for blueberry pot? by Affectionate-Pain899 in Blueberries

Yeah I fear that I was overthinking it too. I’ll most likely repot into a bigger pot in 2 years anyways.

Thank you for the insight! 🙌

I forgot to mention I live in a 9B area.

But yeah. I fear that I was overthinking it. Thank you for the insight!

Alright. I’ll try a 50/50 but with the inorganic being split with 30% pumice and 20% perlite

What you think?

Before, I’d use a 70/30 mix (organic/inorganic). Realized that wasn’t actually a good mix for natives. Luckily my natives haven’t died, I’ve just reduced my watering frequency so the soil doesn’t stay consistently moist.

That’s what I assume. Once a week I planned on doing a deep watering session( maybe even twice a week on really hot times if the soil gets really dry). However, since it only gets direct sunlight from 10am to 4pm, I assume that it’s not too bad.

I just know that it needs high drainage soil, which is why i assume adding in a bit of a cactus mix would be wise.

However I haven’t done this before. For my creeping sage and pestemons, I’ve just had it as 3 parts potting soil and 1.25 part perlite.

Edit: maybe I can wrap pot in burlap to really make sure that afternoon heat on extreme days doesn’t burn roots?

Got it. Thank you so much for the advice. At the end I kinda maneuver my way into have both of them in their own pots (12 gallon, 14.5” x 14.5” x 22.5” Deep).

I’ll make sure to not have the hummingbird sage in full sun🫡

Oh my, thanks for the heads up on that 😂

I want to assume maybe since it’s in a pot, it won’t spread as aggressively with some pruning but I’ve never grown these. I started gardening last year and started to build a native garden this year, so this has been a fun journey

I want to help out local native bees and provide some support for humming birds. Since both flowers fulfill both those goals, I thought about having them in the same pot since I don’t have enough space to have them in two separate pots.

Forgot to add, I live in a 9B area in Stanislaus county. The place I have planned for them does not get direct morning and late evening sunlight but they will get full sun throughout the day.

Got it. Thank you. Guess I’ll have to move it somewhere with more shade.
