How to make acidic soil and what flowers are suitable for planting in it

I. How to Make It

1. Bury acidic humus: When making acidic soil, you can bury some acidic humus into the soil, such as rotted pine needles, leftover branches and leaves, etc., or you can directly mix in humus soil. This way it can be absorbed and integrated by the soil, changing the soil's pH value, and acidic soil is thus made.

2. Fermented fruit peel solution: When you usually eat fruit, collect the leftover fruit peels, wash them clean, put them into a container, add clean water and leave them in the sun to ferment. Take out the fermented solution, then add clean water to dilute it, and pour it into the soil. Not only can it make acidic soil, but it can also enhance fertility.

3. Add vinegar: Prepare vinegar, add clean water to mix and dilute it, then spray it on the soil surface. Do not use too much at one time, and be careful to check the pH value. After about a few days, it will be ready.

4. Ferrous sulfate solution: Ferrous sulfate is acidic and can improve the soil's pH value. Mix ferrous sulfate powder and clean water evenly at a ratio of 1:1000, then use it to water the soil. Water 2-3 times a month, and acidic soil can be made.

II. What Flowers Are Suitable for Planting

Acidic soil is suitable for planting acid-loving southern flowers, such as gardenia, gloxinia, azalea, hydrangea, Aglaia odorata, camellia, etc.
