    Hi there!
    I'm just wondering what's wrong with my blueberry plant. It has brown spots and some of the leaves look eaten. It is not fruiting. Pics are below. Anyone know what's going on?

    The plant looks somewhat healthy, has an acidic mulch (which is good), but is not showing much new growth. It may not have flowered this year as it looks quite small, and is perhaps lacking in nitrogen Just ensure it gets enough water this year, being in a container. Next year, give it a very small handful of blueberry fertilizer in April and May (one month apart) next year. Keep it well mulched with wood chips as well. Do you have a pollinator for it, or is it a self fertile variety like a Rika?

    Check your soil pH. To grow well Blueberries require acidic soil with pH between 4.0 and 5.2.
