Hi 

I recently purchased my blueberry plant 3 weeks ago  and it was growing good before , From last week all leaves dried up , i put manure some dynamic lifter in the soil and then planted it. Any recommendations to make it survive again.

Re: blue berry bush leaves have dried up

Hi @suni,

 

It sounds like there may be a few factors affecting your blueberry plant. Could you let me know how much Dynamic Lifter you added to the soil? Also, what is your watering regime like—how often do you water and for how long each time? Finally, how has the weather been near you lately? These details will help in providing better recommendations to revive your plant.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

How often are you watering them now @suni? If the soil is drying out, they could be lacking water. Just before the soil dries out completely, you should water.

i planted it two weeks ago and i watered it only three times, now i water it every day. but i checked the soil it was moist and roots are not propagating , it was exactly same when i transplanted it from pot to soil. i dig some soil near by it.

Re: How to treat blueberry bush with dry leaves?

So, if you're watering every day, is the soil constantly wet, or is it drying out a little between waterings, @suni? You don't want the soil to dry out entirely, but you also don't want it to stay constantly wet. Both of these result in a similar look. Did you plant over a clay base? If the roots are constantly sitting in wet soil, the plant will struggle.
