I have no intention of repotting my Ae Ae. It is in a peat and compost potting mix and doing well. But, I don't want to increase the pH level of my soil by using water that is about 6.9 and have quesitons on use of vinegar that others have used for other plants. Also, I an curious about the pink edge on the leaves that grew when Stokes had it. Do the leaves of your Ae Ae have this pink edge? What's that about? |
Hi I would not use vinegar personally,but their is a safe way to lower your p.h of water,It is food grade citric acid it is in powder form and is used for many things including making hard candy,,I have used it for most of my tropicals when watering I lower my waters p.h to 6.0-6.5,,,and in return do not have to feed as often or as much,but so far I can only find it in 50 pound bags and cost almost $100 for a bag,but of course the bag will last for ever ,it does not take much of the powder to lower my p.h in a 5 galloon bucket,,,hope some of this helped!Take care-Jason.
