THE PLANTPAL GLOSSARY

pH.

A measure describing how acidic or alkaline a solution or growing environment is.

What it means for your plants

Root-zone pH affects nutrient availability. Symptoms alone do not prove a pH problem. Avoid adding household acids or alkaline materials without an appropriate test and a clear horticultural reason.

IN PRACTICE

Pale growth can have many causes, so an improvised vinegar treatment is not a sound first response.

Put it into practice

Understand when indoor plants need fertilizer, how to read feeding directions, and when to pause feeding instead of adding more.
