Grow Gadget Budget pH Meter | Cactocereus UK t/a Trichocereus UK

Description

The Grow Gadget Budget pH Pen is an entry level pH meter that will allow you to see how acidic / alkaline your water, feed or run off is. pH levels are an important metric to pay attention to when griowing and caring for cacti. Trichocereus and Lophophora (most cacti for that fact) enjoy a pH range of 5.5 to 6.5, slightly acidic. Rain water tends to be pH neutral and is always a good ideas to reduce the pH slightly to get it within optimal range for nutrient uptake and general plant health. When using seaweed feed as an example, they tend to be alkaline due to the extraction method and is always recommended to pH down to the right levels (The EcoThrive Flourish I sell does NOT have this alkaline problem as it uses a pH neutral extraction method, it is still recommended to pH down to make it slightly acidic).
