Is this still alive

I appreciate what you say but the issue is i could order a new plant and plant it next week. If i wait until Feb and then find out that the current plant was dead since Sept 2024 then i dont think i will be too happy . I also see that the price of soil and compost has gone down now
There is still no sign of green on the plants

 

You could order a new plant, and stick the old pot somewhere out of the way till next Spring. Then you can either throw it away, or you'll have 2 plants!

 

Do both then! Buy a new plant and the correct compost/planting medium and a pot and then you'll have a new plant and give the old one time to decide if it's alive or not.

Just so's you know, blueberries produce more fruit if they have a friend for cross pollination so better still, buy 2 plants!

 

Great minds ...

 

Just so, @Escarpment

 

I dont really have the space for another plant and will need to buy another pot as well. There is another blueberry plant which is suffering the same as this but just not as bad

 

Maybe you need to think that's a sign you're just not good with blueberries and should try something els, unles syou have now understood their need for ericaceous compost, regular feeding and adequate watering with rainwater or amended tap water because they don't like calcium..

 

If you don't have enough room to keep that one and have another, then maybe you have to choose something easier that you can safely grow without any major problems.
Fruting plants/trees/bushes need the right conditions and care to give of their best. Blueberries fall into that category.

 

Still no change and it's had a fair amount of sun and rain recently

 

It's autumn! Everything is either shutting down or slowing down so you can't reasonably expect any signs of life from a deciduous plant at this time.

As we've said, several times now, you need either to exercise patience and take a gamble on it still being alive and growing again next spring or bin it and get a new one and give it the correct growing conditions and that means size of pot, quality of planting medium, aspect, feeding and correct watering.

 

Its more interesting to learn that you do not give a clue as to your locality yet you repeatedly ask for advice, which is freely given , but you do not heed it.
We cannot/will not accept responsibility for your plants . If you cannot/do not care for them, despite this freely given advice, truely its down to you.

 

Autumn changes to plant growth are determined by day length, not temperature. Plants know that cold weather and low light levels are on their way and deciduous plants will drop their leaves.

Except when it's freezing, plants continue to take up water all winter and when the warmer air temperatures arrive in late winter/early spring the pressure of all that sap will cause new flower and leaf buds to open and a new season of growth will begin.

You need to grasp such basic concepts if you are to learn to care for your plants.

 

Where I am in Devon it's 16°C and sunny, nights aren't particularly cold, but even so some plants are losing their leaves, the oaks are so far untouched, the ash are shedding leaves like mad.
Other plants are showing no further flower buds and just looking tired.
In the ground snowdrops and crocuses have roots and are producing shoots.
My autumn/winter flowering camelias have rapidly swelling flower buds.
All plants follow their own cycle governed by temperature, day length, light level, soil temperature. So some will be shutting down at the moment others are getting ready for a new year.
Blueberries are deciduous shrubs from the northern hemisphere and so will be shutting down as the days shorten and no new growth can be expected until the days lengthen and the temperatures rise next spring.
