Blueberry & Acidic
Plant Substrates
generative growth
Blueberries, cranberries, lingonberries, and similar plants have fine, fibrous roots that need a light, airy base with steady moisture. These species respond strongly to pH and nutrient balance, so the composition must be right from the start.
- pH 4.0–5.5 – supports nutrient uptake in acidic soil.
- Light, airy mix – keeps roots oxygenated while holding necessary moisture.
- Organic-rich base – encourages microbial activity
- Phosphorus & potassium – for flowering and fruit formation.
- Iron & manganese – to avoid common deficiencies in acidic conditions.

Acidic needs, balanced mix.
Acid-loving plants need the right mix of acidity, structure, and
nutrients to develop strong roots and stay productive. When the
medium isn’t right, growth slows, flowering weakens, and yields
drop. The substrate formulas we mix match the plant’s specific needs.
Peatman-selected substrates are mixed with precision, balancing water retention, aeration, and stability to meet the needs of your seedlings at every stage. We are agronomists, and we know everything-peat.
