What is the best type of soil to get for a a blueberry plant?

Question

My plant is potted and the leaves are dying and I think it needs to be put into more acidic soil?

Answer 1

Blueberries need an acidic soil.  Get a pH testing kit from someplace like HomeDepot, Menard's, Lowe's, or a garden center, and test your soil.  Follow the kit's instructions for the kind of fertilizer you need.

It's possible you're overwatering your plant too; dropping leaves can be a symptom of too much water.  

Answer 2

do u fertalize??? and is the pot big enought to support the plant?

Answer 3

How old is the plant?  How big?  How big the pot?  Blueberries can get some size to them so make sure the pot size is right.  Half barrels are usually considered good.  Yes, blueberries like acidic soil but my best producer is planted right next to a concrete pad, which I found out later is a real no-no when it comes to blueberries, so there is the exception to every rule.  You might want to try repotting it into a mixture of half soil and half peat moss or find a potting soil for plants like rhododendron or azeleas.  Blueberries do not do well in regular potting soil mixtures.  If you fertilize use one designed for those plants as well but go easy and don't fertilize after June.
