I live in Indiana and when I go to home Depot , Lowes, or Menards 99.5% the soil they sell is Miracle Grow. I have Lemon tree and Calamondin in a pot and those plant require acidic soil to thrive. When I first bought my Calamondin tree, the soil seems sandy and gritty. Since they don't sell that type of soil here, I was wondering if you can help me and others if you can come up with a acidic recipe. Many thanks.

I just purchased an "Endless Summer Bloomstruck" hydrangea. The colors on this plant are amazing. Purple..pink..green..hints of blue..even a rosy gold. I really loved the combination. If I'm adding lime will it change the coloration to mostly pink? It's in a container until fall. I'm concerned that I'm not using the right chemical to maintain the colors I bought.

And can I place slow acting product in hole and apply fast acting soil Acudifier on top of soil of plant? Getting ready to plant 8 blueberries plants tomorrow. I have organic soil Acudifier on hand - 30 lbs. they recommend 1 1/4 cups to new plant - bare roots. And established plants 2 1/2 cups. Thanks in advance.

@Chaletnursery2 жыл бұрын
Hi Kimberly, if the product was the Espoma Organic Soil Acidifier that we sell here at Chalet, and the containers are 18 inches in diameter or larger; the 1 cup per that quantity of soil would be right. That product is elemental sulfur combined with Calcium Sulphate (Gypsum). The Calcium Sulphate acts more quickly to start lowering the pH of the soil. The elemental Sulfur is a very slow acting acidifier, taking 6 months to be broken down by the microorganisms to lower the pH. We recommend that clients apply the elemental sulfur every 6 months for continuous acidifying. Feel free to reach out to our team at hello@chaletnursery.com for any further questions and our expert team can assist you.

In regard to plants this is something we face on the North Shore. So, if we’re talking about acid-loving landscape plants it’s just a matter being aware that even when you use an acidifying agent like sulfur or aluminum sulfate you’re countering those effects every time you have to water with municipal water. So, for the plants mentioned in the video (again: blueberries, rhododendrons, azaleas, hollies, etc.) if you want to have best performance you might consider annual soil tests for those plants and keep up the regular applications of the acidifying materials, rate based on the soil test. You can purchase “home” soil test kits and do it yourself. Or you can send them to a lab and have them done professionally. Of the plants mentioned earlier blueberries are the most extreme case, needing an even more acidic soil than the others. Blueberries really have to be acidified on a regular basis for best performance. There are those people who collect their own rainwater and save it for their orchids or houseplants feeling it is closer to neutral pH and missing some of the “extras” in municipal water. That can be practical if you have the time and inclination and small numbers of plants to water. I’m not sure how practical it is if you have large numbers of landscape plants. Hope this helps. - Tony
