A question on pH:
I've been watering all my plants with distilled water (pH ~6). Out of
curiosity, I just took the pH of the water in my cephalotus' dish and
found it to be about 7.2. It's potted in a peat/sand mix and is doing
well, some roots are even visible at the bottom of the 5 inch fishbowl
it's in. I was wondering if anyone has ever considered buffering their
water to a lower pH? I know Miracid is a soil acidifier, but it's also
a fertilizer and so probably shouldn't be used often (from what I've
heard). Just curious.
Thanks
