Easily detect soil pH with test strips

Growing flowers is an activity that requires a lot of energy, and you need to pay attention to the "roots" of planting flowers and plants - soil. There is really a lot of soil for growing flowers, and it is not enough for us to dig a handful of soil. Understanding the acidity and alkalinity of the soil is an essential part of our flower growing process.

First of all, we must first know that soil pH is an important living environment condition for plant roots. It not only affects the physical and chemical properties of soil, but also directly affects the growth of flowers. Under normal circumstances, flowers can grow well in neutral, weakly acidic and weakly alkaline soils. Most flowers are suitable for growing in slightly acidic soil with a pH value of 5.5~7.0. The nutrients contained in this soil have high availability, which is conducive to the absorption and growth of most flowers.

If the acidity and alkalinity of the soil species are too high, the solubility of mineral elements will be affected, resulting in the reduction of soil nutrient availability, which will adversely affect the development of flowers, and even lead to the death of flowers in severe cases. Therefore, some people do not pay attention to the pH of the soil in the process of growing flowers, and the leaves of flowers and plants are often yellowed, lacking in spirit, and sometimes they will even kill the flowers and plants. So, how do we test the pH of the soil ourselves at home?

Soil pH Test Strips

If you want to accurately test the pH of the soil, you can buy soil pH test strip online or from a chemical reagent store, take a small amount of potting soil and place it in a cup, add 2 to 3 times its water, and stir it for a while. Set aside, and after it settles, remove the supernatant from the cup. Soil pH test strips with high accuracy, easy to operate, easy to measure soil pH.
