Gaylussacia dumosa aka Dwarf Huckleberry

Even if you don't have a green thumb, you can successfully care for Dwarf Huckleberry due to its easy-going nature.

Dwarf Huckleberry’s native range is Eastern N. America - Newfoundland to Florida and Louisiana.

Dwarf Huckleberry should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Dwarf Huckleberry loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Dwarf Huckleberry prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

The Dwarf Huckleberry is characterized by its slow growth and doesn't need fertilization in addition to its potting soil. By renewing the soil in its pot once a year, it should have enough nutrition. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not from any fertilizers.
