It should come as no surprise that, since plants make the majority of their food by photosynthesis, good strong direct sunlight has a direct effect on the amount of growth a plant will experience. Some plants do better in strong direct light, while others are more light sensitive and require less sunlight. As far as pH is concerned, most plants experience prime growth when planted in soil that is somewhere between 5.5 and 6.5 on...
It should come as no surprise that, since plants make the majority of their food by photosynthesis, good strong direct sunlight has a direct effect on the amount of growth a plant will experience. Some plants do better in strong direct light, while others are more light sensitive and require less sunlight. As far as pH is concerned, most plants experience prime growth when planted in soil that is somewhere between 5.5 and 6.5 on the pH scale. The pH scale is a scale from 1 to 14, with 7 representing neutral, while less than 7 is acidic and more than 7 is alkaline, or basic. pH is an abbreviation for the "power of hydrogen", and is specific to how many hydrogen ions are available in the water content of the soil. Plants have a need for potassium as part of their basic nutritional requirement and tend to have increased performance in terms of growth and fruit or vegetable production.
