    Hello All,
    So I have been caring for this blueberry plant out on my balcony for about 2 years. It has been getting worse and worse lately. I don't know much about them but here are some pics of my current plant. ANY help at all would be GREATLY appreciated.

    BTW, the long branch to the left is the only one that has much green left in it.

    First of all it is not a Blueberry. Second, it is planted incorrectly with root crown above the soil surface. Third, it looks over-watered. Sorry.

    Looks like a weed of some sort, perhaps Wild Carrot. I'd guess the Blueberry died some time ago, and the weed came up where it had been.

    To console you, you did a good job keeping it alive for 2 years on your balcony.
