I'm worried it might be stem blight,but I am not sure that exists in Brazil? The leaves are spotty too, I don't know if I should remove the leaves

I'll try using fish oil on the leaves to see if it works against the septoria, I'm not sure about the stem though.. I hope it's not too serious

This is the bush today. The fungus on the leaves died and it was scale insect damage like you said Tetters:(

Your plant looks healthy and you have done a great job with it. It has lots of new growth. I’ve never grown blueberries in pots but have a dozen or so in my yard. There are numerous blueberries farms in my vicinity, our soil is naturally acid, and it rains a lot in the winter. I use bark as a mulch. It looks like you have a variety of high bush blueberry. You should have blooms this spring and with luck berries later. Beautiful bush. Deer love blueberries and often “prune” the bushes. No worries.

Thanks Jewell :giggle: :giggle: I'll plant them in soil next time so that they have more space for root growth
