Re-pot blueberry?
« on: June 06, 2013, 12:45 »
Well, I've had my blueberries for a couple of years now and fingers crossed, they are starting to get established.  My favourite is the Chandler, as it has those really big berries  :tongue2: but it is now over 5" high  :ohmy: and I'm thinking it may be due a 'promotion' to a larger pot.

So, my first question is, if I re-pot it now, will it affect this years fruiting as it tries to re-establish itself?  If so, I shall wait until it's fruited first. 

My second question is, if I do re-pot it, should I use 100% ericaceous compost or should I mix it with anything?

Potted plants don't suffer any setbacks unless you disturb the rootball itself by splitting it open or something.

Go ahead and repot with ericaceous soil only and, if you have it, some time release fertilizer, and water well. The plant won't know anything happened.
