Blueberry with no blossoms

Question

I have a blueberry plant which I brought from France 18 months ago. It had been grown in a pot. This year I put directly in the garden and it has grown to about twice its size but no blossoms. Is this normal or have I stressed it too much?

Answer 1

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.
