Soil type | Guidelines | pH-value |
Substrates |
| < 4,5 too low 4,6 - 5,3 fairly low 5,4 - 6,1 normal 6,2 - 6,9 fairly high >7,0 high |
Peat substrates and potting soil | MMeasure a mixture of 1-part volume of peat/potting soil and 2-part volumes of demineralized water. After shaking of the mixture, the pH-value can be measured directly. | < 3.9 very low 4.0 - 4.7 low 4.8 - 5.5 fairly low 5.6 - 6.3 normal 6.4 - 7.1 fairly high >7.2 high |
Greenhouse soil | pH-values in greenhouse soil is more difficult to measure because these are dependent on the carbonated lime content, organic matter content and the way in which the deposition took place. For that reason, there are some guidelines for certain soil types. | A. Sand pH 5.0 - 5.4 low 5.5 - 5.9 fairly low 6.0 - 6.4 normal 6.5 - 6.9 high B. Clay 5.5 - 5.9 low 6.0 - 6.4 fairly low 6.5 - 6.9 normal 7.0 - 7.4 high C. Peat 4.0 - 4.4 low 4.5 - 4.9 fairly low 5.0 - 5.4 normal |
