Lately I’ve been wondering how important it is to worry about the pH of the soil/water for VFTs, Sarracenia and Drosera. I recently measured the pH of some locally purchased RO water (6.78), distilled water from the local grocery store (4.90), and a fresh mix of unwashed Peat Moss (5.60). I’ve read a wide variety of pH recommendations, and many recommendations seem to be around a pH of 4.5. I can easily lower the pH of my water using Muriatic (Hydrochloric) Acid (pool acid), but is it a good/bad/indifferent idea?
