What pH do some common plants prefer?
Content
| Although most plants prefer a neutral environment, there are exceptions. Here is a list of exact pH preferences for some common plants, including fruits and vegetables. A similar manual can be included with many pH meters available. | |
Plants that like very acid conditions (5.0-5.8 pH) | |
| 5.0-5.8 is considered very acidic for soil conditions. Plants that prefer this include:
|
Plants that like moderately acidic conditions (5.5-6.8 pH) | |
 | Moderately acidic levels are 5.5 to 6.8 and some plants that prefer these conditions include:
|
Plants that love a slightly acidic environment (6.0-6.8) | |
 | Plants that prefer slightly below neutral conditions (6.0–6.8) include:
|
Plants that prefer an alkaline environment (pH 7.0-8.0) | |
 | Soil conditions don't go far into the alkaline side of the pH scale, but plants that prefer slightly above neutral conditions at 7.0-8.0 include:
