Red Rust-Like Dots on Blueberry Leaves - Advice Needed

[rajpalipankaj]

Hi all,

I’ve noticed small rust-colored dots on the leaves of my blueberry plant. Has anyone dealt with this before? Is it a fungus or pest issue, and what’s the best way to treat it? Should I remove the affected leaves?

Thanks for any advice!

Rust spots on blueberries can be a bummer. I've had a similar issue with my plants. It's most likely a fungal infection. Have you tried using a neem oil spray or a homemade solution of baking soda and water? These are often pretty effective.

Also, make sure you're not overwatering and that your plants have good airflow. Removing the affected leaves can help prevent the spread.

Good luck!
