For a
balanced nutrition and potting soil, two things are essential, namely EC and pH
values. Plants prefer high quality water in order to flourish. For good quality
water, the amount of calcium plays an important part. Water with a relatively
high amount of calcium and magnesium ions, we call ‘hard water’. Hard water can
harm plants that prefer an acid environment.
Consuming
water
EC-values
are the values for the electric conductance of water. If the salinity of water
is high, the EC-number will be high too. The salt concentration inside the
plant always needs to be higher than outside, because water moves from low to
high salinity and therefore in the direction of the plant.
Stable
values
We
express the acidity of water in a pH-value. It presents the concentration of
ions in the water. The lower the pH-value, the higher the acidity of the water
will be. Soil with a pH-value of seven is neutral, below seven is acid and
above is alkaline. For most potting plants a pH-value between 5.5 and 6.0 is
desirable. Still, it is more important that the value does not fluctuate but
remains stable. If the pH-value fluctuates, than the amount of nutritious
substances fluctuates as well and this will show in the way the plant grows.
pH-value 5.5 – 6.0
The
ideal pH-value of a watergift for decorative plants is between 5.5 and 6.0. The
product PH- can help your plants to reach this ideal value and to keep them
balanced at this level.
