Two years of no blueberries on my plants, got serious with them this year and transplanted them from the ground into 17 gallon pots. The soil I went to is 50% peat moss 50% pine mulch. (Better PH) Now hundred of blooms. Thanks for your videos.

Did this last fall repotted 3 blueberries in larger containers with that soil ratio and add soil acidifier, Dr Earth Acid lover Fertilizer did some major pruning. Now massive growth twice the size all flush green with hint of blue leaves with a ton of flowers, BTW these plants look dead from beginning, now beautiful patio fruit berries.

Same! Except I rescued mine a couple months ago from Meijer. It was so sad, and really struggling. Wilted, shriveled… you know the look I’m sure. I kept it in its bag for a couple weeks, giving it sunlight and water, light nutrients. I decide to move it to a pot outside (it really is a tiny thing) and I discover it has next to no roots 😱 no wonder it was struggling! All seems well now, it’s has some new growth. Then a couple weeks ago I notice it’s new leaves turning red-ish 🧐 but when thinking about it I figured it’s normal bcuz every time I’ve stumbled upon a blueberry bush in the woods…. It had some red-ish leaves 🤷♀️

Buy a blueberry plant from a local grower and have it be of decent enough size. Use an acid enhancing fertilizer and it'll turn those red leaves green in no time. I had red leaves and smaller growth last year and used regular fertilizer. I added Epoma's Hollytone Fertilizer and the bushes are growing a lot better and I see little to no red leaves, only on a few tips of leaves.

I wrote in a few weeks ago asking the very same question. I had just planted 10 blueberry bushes and all the leaves were red. I did everything right with the soil, and still, the leaves turned red. I didnt realize until a bit later that it was due to the weather. We had some temps in the mid 30's right around the time I had written in, and I'm happy to say that as the weather has gotten warmer, the leaves have all turned a vibrant green and the plants are flourishing. All but 2 of them are blooming and some of the bushes already have some small blueberries on them, which is pretty good for plants that young. I didnt think lower temperatures would affect blueberries so much because they are so cold hearty, but then I thought about it, and it makes perfect sense. Blueberries can withstand very cold temperatures in the winter when they are dormant and have no leaves, but once the leaves form and the roots pump water to them, that water can freeze and burst the cells within the plant, causing them to die. Anyway, thanks for the video, I'm looking forward to many more. Maybe you could do one about honeyberries.

Temperature fluctuation - Michigan in particular has gone from 90 to 40 this week. Water - The roots of the plant should be able to accept lack of water as it matures and adapts, but it wants damp soil to uptake nutrients Acidity - Blueberries need acidic soil Lack of nutrients - Amend your soil Pests cause stress - Aphids and Spider mites remove sap from leaves

Nothing in my garden quite thrilled me as much this spring as when the blueberries I planted last fall started getting their new leaves and growing. Glad to know what to look for. I have noticed quite a difference overall since I fertilized them. I did go to a lot of trouble for their soil, digging out a deep and wide hole and layering peat, coconut coir, composted soil, the original soil and a little bit of sand until the hole was slightly heaped. It seems to have worked. They also have downspout water coming down only a few feet away.

Good information. Can you start a cutting by putting a stem in rooting hormone? If so, when is the best time to do this.
@krystalfukinmarie7572 жыл бұрын
Take softwood cuttings (4 inches to 5 inches long) in late spring from the tips of the current season’s growth, when stems kinda woody tissue but still flexible and terminal leaves are half-grown to almost mature. Cuttings taken too early (terminal leaves very succulent, stems very flexible) may readily wilt. Cuttings taken too late (mature leaves, second flush of growth initiated), may poorly root. Rooting usually is more successful when cuttings are taken from the first flush of spring growth. However, cuttings can be collected from growth flushes occurring later in the growing season. Take cuttings from the upper part of the mother plant. Use sharp, clean pruning shears or knives disinfected in a solution of 1 part household bleach to 5 parts water. Remove lower leaves leaving two or three terminal leaves. Don’t allow cuttings to dry; keep them moist and cool after collection. Place cuttings in the propagation bed, under mist, as soon as possible at a depth of one-half to two-thirds of their length. Hardwood cuttings are taken during the dormant season after sufficient chilling has occurred, usually late January through February. Collect strong, healthy shoots or “whips” (usually 12 inches to 36 inches long) that grew the previous summer. Divide these “whips” into sections 5 inches to 6 inches long with a sharp knife or a bench saw with a fine blade. If the terminal of the shoot contains flower buds, remove the flower buds or discard the tip. Insert cuttings into the propagation medium from one-half to two-thirds of their length with one shoot bud exposed. Keep the propagation beds moist, but be careful not to use too much water. Water hardwood cuttings with a sprinkler until they start growing leaves, then mist-water the cuttings until they are rooted. After cuttings are rooted, apply a dilute complete liquid fertilizer weekly. Plants can remain in the propagation bed until winter, when they should be transplanted into pots or nursery beds and held them for one year. The plants should be large enough for field planting the next winter. Propagation beds need to be well-drained, under shade cloth (40 percent to 70 percent shade), and have adequate ventilation. Avoid excessive wind movement that may interfere with mist control. Propagation Media - A medium that retains moisture well but allows aeration is necessary. Media containing various propagation mixtures of coarse sand, ground pine bark, perlite, sawdust, and peat moss have proven satisfactory. A good rooting medium recipe is a mixtures of coarse sand, ground pine bark, and peat moss (1:1:1) or perlite and peat moss (1:1). References: Braswell, John H.

Perfect Timing!!! We had bareroot that already broke dormancy and it was too cold so I potted them. Yes, we had extreme heat a couple weeks ago and I said they need to get planted. Then it turned really cold, Again! I covered them, but not all cooler nights. This is first time I've grown them. I too thought, hey, who takes care of them in the wild? But, as you said, those are established plants. I added a cup of acidifier, peat and some compost. I didn't want to grow in pots as they wouldn't make it through the winter and I'm not babysitting pots all winter zone 5. I just hope that what I read about oak and cedar areas that they are acidic and the BBs will thrive as long as I can keep them moist. I hope our drought is going away as we have rain once again. So yes, I was wondering about those red leaves and I think it may be the cold. I've read the roots of BBs are only about 6 inches and spread horizontally so I prepped the soil in a larger area at least 6 inches. Thanks for the tips and I'll have to check PH. We had frost couple night ago and another of 36.5°F that was suppose to be upper 40s. So yes, a few more burgundy colors appeared. The Heat is on in a couple days and everything should explode😁

At first I had red leaves, got scared and through the kitchen sink at them! Happy to say most leaves are green but still have new leaves that come out red. I made a mistake and got the cart before the horse LOL I planted the blueberries than put sulfur pellets in, because sulfur pellets take a while, I added liquid sulfur to apply at 2 week intervals until I see a difference!

So for my own Blueberry (pink lemonade) it's the suckers that have a pinkish hue while very few of the older leaves are still mostly green with VERY slight reddish tips! We had about a full week of 70+ sunny weather and we dropped down to 55-60 degree weather and it's now cloudy and a bit rainy currently... Could that've been the cause? During the warm week I had also re-potted my blueberry to a bigger pot. So I'm not sure if that could've been a factor too. The leaves are still VERY healthy looking though aside from the pink hues on the suckers.

Great information! I have a Blueberry plant that's a few years old and under a grow light indoors. It did develop some red leaves after a power outage the other day, so I'm thinking the lack of light may have stressed the plant out. Ironically it produced a sudden burst of new healthy green leaves today or yesterday. I did order some Trifecta Plus from you and Peat Moss from Tractor Supply so will try that too. It is long and leggy and I probably should have pruned it over the winter but couldn't bring myself to cut off branches with new leaves on them. I'm curious if I cut them now and stick them in some soil if they will root and grow new plants that can pollinate with this plant later. I had another one that died after about a year and they were both producing berries soon after I bought them the first year but since the other died I have only gotten foliage from this remaining one.

Is it possible to get your soil TO acidic for blueberries? And will transplanting naturally stress a potted blueberry more than a bareroot?

I always thought that was supposed to happen, they're so pretty when they're pink/red . Whooooops.

I need to move my blueberries 😥. This is year three and they just aren’t doing well. I’m in Illinois and it’s the end of May. Can I go ahead and dig them up and move them? If they aren’t doing well in this spot then it probably won’t hurt to go ahead and move right?

So I'm assuming by your verbiage "newly planted" is 2-3 years after planting and after that is when you should be truly concerned? My dwarf plants have been in for a year, were literally an inch tall (thanks to bunnies at the nursery) when I put them in. They have grown nicely and came back on red/yellow. I just wanted to confirm that I shouldn't truly worry until after next year

Can diluted apple cider vinegar can also help to decrease the pH level as a home remedy?

Great advice. I was wondering why they turned red. First year plants. I thought maybe they were supposed look like that lol One thing I disagree on though is the needles. Spruce and pine needles contain nutrition and are acidic. They will lower the pH when they break down. Not a lot of course, they are just needles after all.

Its been scientifically proven they have no effect on the soil ph. its a myth. Easily found on YT.
