For whatever the reason my blueberry (one of) has started to lose its leaves and some of the branches have started to turn brown.
This plant had been fine throughout the last season and the only thing done to it recently was potting it up into a bigger pot.
Now, i don't know if this is because of the ericaceous compost i'm using (B&Q's Verve) from last year or if there is something else going on.
If it is the soil then i am at a loss to explain why because i purchased another Blueberry plant a few weeks ago and that was potted up at the same time and is thriving.
I figured that it could be because of the soils pH so i gave it a good soaking using water that i had lowered the pH level of.
I did this yesterday so i don't expect any improvements yet but i think i am going to get another back of ericaceous compost from a garden centre on Friday and pot it into that to see how it reacts.
I will get some pictures uploaded of it tomorrow but in the meantime, what do you guy's think could be the problem?
I am at a loss to explain what the hell is wrong with it.
------Edit-------
I should also add that the flowers are still on it and it hasn't really lost those as of yet.
