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.
