Only when the pH value is right can the plant absorb all nutrients

Many nutrients that a plant needs for optimal growth, good flavor and increased yield are found in the soil. In order for the plant to benefit from and absorb the nutrients that are essential for survival, the pH value of the growing medium must also be right. If this is too acidic or too alkaline, plant growth will be considerably restricted. You can influence the pH value in the soil by watering. You can add so-called correction solutions to this water and thus regulate the pH value.

Since every plant has a different need for nutrients, there is unfortunately no standard pH value. However, most plants prefer a relatively neutral soil between 6 and 7.5. It is best to familiarise yourself with the preferences and needs of your own plants. Once you know at what pH your plants can best bind the necessary nutrients, there are several ways to measure and regulate the pH.
