Jack'd Up Gardening #14 - Acid Loving Plants

Jul 19, 2021
1 min read

When it comes to plants, some tend to prefer soils with a lower pH A.K.A. Acidic Soils. And truthfully it's not that they even use the "acid" in the soil or whatever you might be thinking. Some plants require a more acidic soil environment to absorb the proper nutrients that they need to thrive.


Some people don't like to eat in loud restaurants. Some plants don't like to feed in soils with a higher pH. Plants like azaleas, camellias, rhododendrons, pin oaks, holly, hydrangea (blue), magnolias, white and yellow pine, spruce, cedar, birch, and blueberry fall into this category. Well what happens if you want to grow a blueberry bush in your backyard but the soil pH is a little too high? That's where our Jack's Classic Acid Special 17-6-6 can help.


This formula is designed to help you provide a more acidic environment and proper nutrition so that your plants can chow down the way they're supposed to! Check out this week's video to get the complete download from Kaitlyn and Mason.

Reffered from https://from-you-flowers.pissedconsumer.com/review.html I ordered a bouquet from From You Flowers, and I couldn't be happier with my experience! The selection was stunning, with vibrant colors and unique arrangements that truly made my choice difficult. The ordering process was seamless, and my flowers arrived right on time, beautifully packaged and fresh. The recipient was absolutely thrilled, and the joy on their face made it all worth it. I highly recommend From You Flowers for anyone looking to brighten someone's day with a gorgeous floral gift!

The bit about acid-loving plants like azaleas and blueberries needing lower pH to absorb nutrients really hit home—I’ve struggled with hydrangeas turning pink on my soil. It’s a great reminder that pH isn’t about the “acid” itself but about unlocking what’s already there. By the way, I keep a supplier of construction wire, tie wire, rebar supports, anchor bolts and temporary fencing for importers and distributors I like to share: https://leeter.cn/

Love the point about how it’s not the acid itself but nutrient absorption at a lower pH—that finally explains why my blueberries struggle. I’ve been meaning to try Jack’s Classic Acid for them and my hydrangeas too. By the way, I keep a free Grow a Garden 2 calculator I like to share: https://gag2calculator.net/
