There are a couple of ways to expand your crop of blueberries that are easy and inexpensive. Read to learn how to propagate blueberries by taking softwood cuttings.
Things You'll Need
established blueberry plant
peat moss
sand
pots
garden scissors or cutters
In the spring, take 3 to 6 inches of cuttings. The cuttings should be from the tips of the stems. A small pair of garden cutters will work nicely.
Pull off the bottom leaves from the stem, leaving only the top pair of leaves.
In a pot, combine a mix of half peat moss and half sand. Combine the peat moss and sand thoroughly. Place the cutting into the peat-sand mix allowing only the top third of the cutting to stick out of the soil.
Water the cuttings slightly. The soil should be kept moist, but not overly wet. Keep in a high humidity area.
The cuttings should root in a few weeks. Once the new rooted cuttings have matured a bit, place them in a larger pot. They can be moved to the garden the following year.
