FAQ About Indoor Plant pH and Acidity Management
Are there any DIY methods for testing soil pH?
Yes, there are DIY methods for testing soil pH, such as using vinegar and baking soda to perform a basic test. Take two soil samples and add vinegar to one. If it fizzes, the soil is likely alkaline (pH above 7). To the other sample, add baking soda. Fizzing indicates acidic soil (pH below 7). While not precise, these tests can give a general idea.
