Hi everyone,

I just read that Pachypodiums enjoy a highly acidic soil (4-5.5pH!) ....does anyone have any experience with this, and if so, how do you make your soil that acidic? I'm using them in pots. I've got one P. geayi planted, one mystery pachypodium I found at a yard sale, and I just ordered some P. eburneum seeds. I love them and want the best for them. I have seen two enormous specimens here in Bradenton FL and on Longboat Key...so they must grow here under some circumstance! Shrug! Thanks!
