Plants

Growing plants is simple! Most plants thrive in good quality potting soil from garden centers, which typically has a balanced pH (6.0-7.0).

Each plant profile in this app includes specific soil and pH requirements, but consider these as helpful guidelines rather than strict rules. Standard potting soil provides an excellent starting point for most plants.

pH adjustments are only needed for specialty plants like:

  • Blueberries and azaleas (prefer acidic soil)
  • Lavender and clematis (prefer alkaline soil)
