Blueberries

[Samd1]

Hi,

I've recently moved and re potted my blueberries plants that haven't had much love the last year or so, they have hung in there and seem to be doing ok now,

Do I need to prune them to help them bush out or just leave them be?

Welcome @Samd1.

If mine, I think I would trim that one branch on the left back to level with the other branches.

Also, you probably are aware, but blueberries are very sensitive to ph requiring a reading of 4 to 5 in containers.

Meadowlark is right about blueberries needing an acidic pH. It looks like you are planted in a wood or bark base potting mix. Good luck friend.

Yes they are in an azelea soil mix, ok I'll give it a trim.
Otherwise will they fill out?

Yes, given proper light and soil nutrients.

I recommend you move your blueberry plant into full Sun for the best growth after you top it. You need to allow foliage to increase before you get blueberries. When a Sun-loving plant is planted or placed close to a fence or building the Sun can be blocked. If it gets less than 6 hours the plant may not grow very well. Thanks for the post and keep us updated.

Ok, it gets about 8hrs where it is at the moment but I'll keep an eye on it. Thank you.
