So I planted a blueberry bush three months ago and it is still the same size as it be before. Can anyone explain to me why this is taking place because I planted other plants and they grew just fine. By the course I live in San Diego California.
Answers: I live contained by south Florida and we have sharp sandy soils, but have trouble growing blueberries because our wet is very alkaline. We lose the profit of the acid soil when we irrigate. There is a fledgling blueberry industry here, and those that are successful are certainly growing the blueberry plants in windrows of composted pine yap, rather than planting them directly within the native soil.
In my experience, even the healthiest, best grown blueberry plants are sparse looking (not several leaves) and grow very slowly. They do not breed lush fast growing, energetic looking plants.
If your other plants are healthy and growing, you are doing the right things. Check to be sure your soil and hose down are acid. You can acidify the soil if called for with sulfur, or you could verbs up the plant and heavily amend the soil with peatmoss or some other sharp organic issue. Good luck.
replant it higher totalling sand,acidic soil and mulch. tamp it down thoroughly well
