pH Adjustment for Plumeria – Managing Soil Acidity for Better Nutrition Soil pH directly affects how well plumeria absorb nutrients, even if your fertilizer is perfect. A pH that’s too high or too low can cause micronutrient lockout, yellow leaves, or poor blooming. That’s why monitoring and adjusting pH is an essential part of plumeria […]

EC vs. pH – Understanding These Critical Measures in Plumeria Fertilization Two of the most important but misunderstood values in plumeria care are EC (Electrical Conductivity) and pH (Potential Hydrogen). Both impact nutrient availability, but in very different ways. This article explains what each one means, how they interact, and how to monitor or adjust […]

Buffering in Plumeria Fertilization – What It Means and Why It Matters In plumeria care, managing pH and nutrient availability is essential. But even when you apply the right fertilizer, results can vary. Why? The answer often lies in buffering—the soil’s ability to resist pH changes and nutrient swings. This article explains what buffering is, […]

Managing Alkaline Soil for Plumeria – A Grower’s Guide Alkaline soil, defined as having a pH above 7.5, can make growing plumeria challenging. Even if you fertilize regularly, plants may show yellowing leaves, stunted growth, or poor bloom performance due to nutrient lockout. This guide helps you identify alkaline conditions and correct them with safe, […]

Managing Acidic Soil for Plumeria – A Grower’s Guide Plumeria thrive in slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0–6.8), but when the pH drops too low, even well-fed plants can struggle. Overly acidic soil (pH < 5.5) can lead to toxic micronutrient levels, nutrient imbalances, and weak plant growth. This guide helps you identify acidic […]
