FAQ About Indoor Plant Nutrient Dynamics

How does soil pH affect nutrient availability for indoor plants?
Soil pH can significantly affect the availability of nutrients to plants. Most indoor plants prefer a slightly acidic to neutral pH (5.5 to 7.0). At this range, essential nutrients are more soluble and accessible. If the pH is too high (alkaline) or too low (acidic), certain nutrients become less available, leading to deficiency symptoms, even if the nutrients are present in the soil.
