    Is african violet potting soil acidic enough for azaleas?
    Is miracle-gro african violet potting soil acidic enough for azaleas or do I need to add something else? The lable says the soil is ~5-6 ph. My other options are miracle gro potting soil, vermiculite, MG moisture control potting soil and MG seed starter mix. Or I could buy bonsai kodama soil online.

    Plug them in then if you have to, adjust the PH later.

    "plug them in" to what kind of soil?" And how do I adjust the ph? I'd rather buy the proper soil than tamper with the ph, that is why I asked if African violet soil is acidic enough or would I have to adjust it. If it needs adjusting then I might as well buy kodama soil rather than invest in a ph tester etc.

    I'll plug it into a hydroponic system, adjust the PH and grow it to perfection. Or, I can grow it in regular potting soil with the proper admendments. I gave you appropriate information. You want to make it difficult. So, my answer stands. Do that.
