Answer 1

Looks like it could use less water and a little more light.......take a look under one of those leaves and make sure you haven't got a creepy crawler........my guess is just a little damp mold............all the best

Answer 2

I've got a blueberry plant as well. As long as the leaves aren't turning brown and falling off it's perfectly healthy. Just keep an eye out for white flowers, those are what will turn into blueberries.

Answer 3

Gloeosporium Leaf Spot or Anthracnose (Gloeosporium minus) Most commercial blueberry plantings in eastern North Carolina are affected with Gloeosporium leaf spot which can cause severe defoliation and reduction in yield. This disease can produce flecking, leaf anthracnose and stem lesions. Gloeosporium leaf spot was first described as a stem and leaf fleck disease of blueberry. Symptoms first appear as small reddish flecks on young leaves and stems of succulent shoots. Leaf and stem flecks do not develop further. With the leaf anthracnose stage, large (1/2 to over 1 inch across) brown lesions are the characteristic symptoms in the field. Development of lesions results primarily from infection through hydathodes at the margins of the leaf, and to a lesser extent through wounds. Secondary stem lesions can develop from leaf infections by growing through the petiole into the stem, and from bud infections late in the season. Stem lesions first appear on current season's growth as dark red circular to elliptical lesions around leaf scars. As the lesions enlarge, the affected stems turn brown and eventually become gray and die. On highly susceptible cultivars such as Jersey, the disease results in severe dieback, measuring up to 20 inches.
