Indoor Plant pH and Acidity Management

FAQ About Indoor Plant pH and Acidity Management

Can container type affect the soil pH of indoor plants?

Yes, the type of container can influence the soil pH for indoor plants. Clay pots can slowly leach alkaline materials into the soil, potentially raising the pH. Non-porous containers like plastic or glazed ceramics don't have this effect. Additionally, drainage and aeration can affect soil pH indirectly by influencing soil water content and microbial activity.
