Most plants prefer neutral soils.
However, some flowers can grow in acidic soil conditions.
How to determine soil acidity without instruments
Visually, this can be done by external signs: a whitish tint of the soil, a strongly pronounced podzolic and clayey horizon indicates highly acidic soil.
In addition, indicator plants - those that prefer acidic soil - serve as a signal of acidic soil.
What flowers and plants grow well in acidic soil
Buttercups, horsetail, field mint, horse sorrel, plantain, sedge and moss grow well on such soil.
If such plants appear on your site, this means that the soil is highly acidic.
It contains a lot of aluminum, which prevents plants from absorbing many elements beneficial to them.
On soils with low acidity, mainly nettles, chamomile, clover, alfalfa, mustard, quinoa, chickweed, and beans grow.
In addition, on the sour side - moss, plantain, buttercup, sedge, violet, horsetail, bentgrass, lupine, wood lice, sorrel.
Lilies have different attitudes towards soil acidity: Asians and La hybrids feel great in neutral and slightly acidic soils.
Oriental hybrids prefer slightly acidic soils and have a very negative attitude towards the presence of lime, which, on the contrary, is necessary for snow-white, Henry, and royal lilies.
