    It shouldn't matter as long as they receive adequate sunlight, at least 5-6 hours, and suitable soil. For additional information on growing blueberries, this article should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/blueberries/growing-blueberry.htm

    Most likely, it is a watering issue. In heat like that, you will want to water twice a day rather than once or twice weekly, and water the pot for several minutes to make sure it is thoroughly soaked. Plants in containers must be watered daily, even twice a day if temperatures rise above 85 F.

    It is likely a lack of phosphorous. Blueberries are heavy phosphorous feeders and a lack of phosphorous will keep a plant from blooming and fruiting. Add some bone meal to the soil to add phosphorous and this should help.

    Is this a new planting? It sounds like the plant may have gone into shock. I would increase water and give it a dose of some weak sugar water. As a precaution, treat the plant with a fungicide as this can also cause these symptoms. The azalea food was a good choice as it can also be caused by a pH issue in the soil or low magnesium.
