This bush is 3 years old and sitting in a pot , im adding dissolved ammonium sulfate but does seem te work very well to keep ph low

Got 3 blues. 2 of them are doing great. The pictures show the other plant which is not doing so great. Any ideas why?

They have the same soil, fertilizer and watering routine.

Just got a young pink lemonade blueberry bush from our local nursery this past weekend. There are no buds on it. Should I wait till fall to transplant it or transplant it in the ground now? I’ve read that it’s best to transplant in early spring or fall.

Appreciate any advice :)

I purchased a jellybean and duke high bush. I have a perfect pot for the jelly bean, but I already have the massive container needed for the duke. He’s kind of small right now and I would love to keep these two close for now. Is it okay to put him in a slightly bigger pot than the one he came in and just repot him later on when there’s more growth? Duke is on the right.

bush 1 looked nothing like that Sunday but when i went to check on it Monday it had deteriorated overnight. today thats what both of my plants look like and i’m having a hard time figuring out what i did wrong, because i do the same thing for both plants. Both plants came from the same walmart and bush 1 was actually more healthy looking than 2 up until Monday, bush 1 is even producing already.

I have 4 bushes: pink lemonade, two Lowe's varieties, and a random that my wife brought home. All are producing fruit at different rates.

The issue I'm having is that they're all growing at different rates. It seems that the smaller pot is growing exponentially faster than the others. Should I move my others to smaller pots?

I have transplanted them all by removing as much of the old soil as possible and putting them all in the exact same mix along with soil acidifier and fertilizer in pellet form.

Thank you in advance with any help!

Hey, I picked up one of those blueberry bushes from Costco. I probably forgot to water it one week but I’m trying to water it one to two times a week. Is the bush dead?

Can anybody please help me figure out why my blueberry bush looks like this all of a sudden? It is a Duke Highberry bush about 1 year old. It gets full sun (~8 hours), I am watering when the soil gets dry (about 2 or 3 times a week).

Loving the progress on these. It’s so satisfying to watch them grow. Share how your blueberries are doing right now.

New to this community and growing blueberries, please I need some help, what is eating the leaves of my blueberry plant and how can I stop it? Thank you for your help

My blueberry bush has just started to get brown on the top of leaves and was wondering what it could be I think it could use a copper solution but I'm not sure help please .

I have a young container blueberry (~6 months old) that has been stressed for about 3 weeks and I’m trying to figure out the main issue.

Recent changes/history: Originally in a small nursery pot. Had flowers/fruit buds initially. Went through some hardening-off/environmental stress outdoors
Recently transplanted into a ~3.5 gallon glazed ceramic pot with drainage hole

Soil mix is roughly: pine bark fines, Canadian peat moss, perlite. Root crown is intentionally left exposed slightly above soil level. Added a light pine bark top layer around exposed roots only
Conditions: Gets morning sun and some evening sun (~6:30 PM). Avoiding harsh midday exposure
Outdoor container setup. No fertilizer added yet after transplant. Watering based on finger moisture checks.

Any advice? Pains to see the young bush like this. Should I leave it alone and let it recover or does the current pot/setup seem off, plan on slowly size increasing.

I live in Ontario, zone 7a per the government. I am in an apartment, 17th floor south facing. I am tentatively planning to move my new baby to a 5-10gallon pot within the week in acidic soil. Any other tips or tricks to keep her alive?

Other than going to war with the birds of course!

Hi so at first my blueberries have been doing amazing, lots of fruits, and now they’re all drying up, I have watered lots and lots with both amended tap water (I have hard water) and rain water, used ericacious compost and feed, I’m not sure what to do now to save my crop

Its a pink lemonade ive been doin all the soil amendments even tried to let it dry out but then my buds just dried what do i do its jus burning up all the tips and leaves once they break a lil

I bought this Peach Sorbet from an online retailers and came to me all beat up and broken.

I recently bought these two blueberry varieties plants from local nursery. They said their soil is already acidic and perfect conditions for plant and don’t need anything else. My Duke variety leaves are a dark green (pictures attached for reference).

Any idea how to fix reddish leaves and get dark green leaves?

Hi fellow Berry Gardeners!

Any idea who these pests are? They appear to be laying eggs on the new leaves, causing them to crinkle? Not much leaf eaten up yet, but the basil I planted nearby is almost all consumed. Last year the new growth was attacked late in the season. These are second year plants.

Mixing some neem oil concentrate for evening application, with a little peppermint soap and a dash of alcohol. Does that sound good? I would appreciate your advice and insight!!
