blueberry bush won't grow!!!?

Question

So I planted a blueberry bush three months ago and it is still the same size as it was before. Can anyone explain to me why this is happening because I planted other plants and they grew just fine. By the way I live in San Diego California.

Answer 1

I live in south Florida and we have acidic sandy soils, but have trouble growing blueberries because our water is very alkaline. We lose the advantage of the acid soil when we irrigate. There is a fledgling blueberry industry here, and those that are successful are actually growing the blueberry plants in windrows of composted pine bark, rather than planting them directly in the native soil.
In my experience, even the healthiest, best grown blueberry plants are sparse looking (not many leaves) and grow very slowly. They do not make lush fast growing, vigorous looking plants.
If your other plants are healthy and growing, you are doing the right things. Check to be sure your soil and water are acid. You can acidify the soil if necessary with sulfur, or you could dig up the plant and heavily amend the soil with peatmoss or some other acidic organic matter. Good luck.

Answer 2

You need 2 blueberry bushes for cross pollination. Does it get flowers or just stay green? If not your soil may not be acidic enough either. Add some peat moss around the bush and when you fertilize use an acidic fertilizer.

Answer 3

Have your soil tested and make sure that the necessary conditions exist to grow blueberries.
Blueberries require acidic conditions.
