Organic Soil Acidifier: Enhancing Plant Growth and Color

Sulfur, a primary soil amendment used by home gardeners and large-scale farmers, is known for its ability to lower soil pH (increase acidity). Compared to compost, blood meal, and bone meal, sulfur is often seen as a more efficient pH amendment. Soil acidity is a vital component of growth and health for many types of plants, making it essential for the care of gardens and lawns.

Before planting, it is crucial to test your soil's pH level to ensure your plants are being placed in the most suitable environment. Anything below a pH of 7 is considered acidic, with the ideal zone for maximum nutrient absorption and root health being 5.5 - 6.5.

Organic Soil Acidifier should be added at varying rates depending on the size of the soil bed or the potted plant. This product can be used to change the color of your Hydrangea flowers, with low pH (acidic) soils producing blue-toned blooms and high pH (alkaline) soils resulting in pink-toned flowers. Be sure to have a soil pH tester on hand to monitor the changes between applications.

Soil Acidifier Usage in the Garden and Landscape:

Great for Fruit Gardening: Many popular fruiting shrubs and trees, such as Blueberries, Apple Trees, Blackberries, Pear Trees, and Citrus, prefer to grow in slightly acidic soils ranging from 5.5 to 6.5.

Increases Nutrient Access: Soil acidity, both low and high, affects how nutrients from fertilizers or compost are absorbed by the roots of your plants. Plants adapted for low pH soil will absorb vital nutrients such as Nitrogen and Phosphorus at a higher rate when grown in acidic soils.

Support Flowering Shrubs/Trees: Many flowering trees and shrubs, including Plumeria, Hibiscus, Camellia, Azalea, Rose, Elm Trees, and Palm Trees, need soil pH levels below 6.5 to produce bright, vibrant, and healthy blooms.

Increase Acidity for Blueberry Gardening: Blueberry bushes thrive in lower pH soils, typically growing best in a pH range of 4.0 to 5.5. Our organic garden sulfur can help achieve these optimal levels of acidity.
