I am interested in any reference material on Ph and what plants
do best on what level of Ph.
We developed a machine that can control the Ph from 2.5 to 12 ph,
but we need to know which plants thrive on what level of Ph.

Thanks! Jim Bojarski

The following charts show sensitivities and ideal pH for a very wide variety of plants, grouped by general category such as trees,greenhouse plants, etc.
