I was talking to a local nursery owner today about 'million bells'. I think the official name is calebrocoa or something similar. Anyway I was telling him how they always start out great but by midsummer they start to look ragged. He was saying that they and most other annuals prefer an acidic soil and that our local tap water has a very high PH and that is probably why they start to decline over the season. So I have a couple questions?
My annuals are all planted in pots with a standard potting soil. Miracle grow brand I think. Can I sprinkle a little Aluminum Sulphate in the pots? How often? Is there a better way?
Any ideas, comments suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
