Ok so I just purchased a blue berry bush at a big box store, planted it in ground not potted. before we go any further instead of mentioning, checking the pH of the soil, can we maybe shed light on other issues that are possible. Here are the details.

I live in central Canada, the native soil is clay, I dug out an area three sizes the plant and filled it with spagnum peat moss and pine bark.

We just came out of a mild cold snap, like -1 celcius overnight.

Mind you they were kept outside at the garden center with the same overnight temps with the plant looking healthy.

Now with the plant in the ground at about 2 weeks so far it's started to turn red. no roots have started to spread at this point.

What other factors excluding ph and the cold snap could cause the plant to start turning red?

also I apologize if my post seems poorly written or confusing, I'm buzzing pretty good right now and felt the need to ask at this time haha. ... also should I re plant it in a pot instead of in the ground lol.

planted blue berry high bush's in ground, surrounded them with pine bark and spagnum peat. one is turning red, full sun and watered. is there anything I missed or is it just in shock I'm also in central Canada.

so I purchased a high bush blue berry plant, and transplanted it in the ground, it has full sun, it's planted in spagnum peat moss and pine bark with natural soil being clay. it has started to turn red. it's also well watered. is it just shock or am I doing something wrong?

I've bought some plants from home Depot, I planted in the ground not pots. they are planted in peat moss,pine bark the native soil is Manitoba clay.

the one plant started turning red a cpl days after being planted and I have no clue as to why, it's surrounded by acidic nutrients, and have been watered. any advice as to why the plant is struggling would be of a great help.
