How can i find out if my house plants are acid-loving plants?
ferns, gardenias, scheffleras, camelias, and azaleas all love acidic soil.


most other common indoor plants don't really care.
Reply:If you know what they are than just do a yahoo search.





If you don't know than try hunting down the same kind in your local greenhouse and ask what are the needs of the plant.





Greenhouse people are very knowledgeable and usually helpful.
Reply:Commercial potting mixes have the right Ph for almost ALL houseplants.





If you're curious about what your houseplants are - go to a greenhouse/nursery, and look for similar plants - then you can ask the employees there about any special needs they might have.





But unless you have a cactus, an orchid, or and african violet, "regular" potting soils will fit the bill.
