Description
pH Up by Pi Nutrients is a premium-quality solution formulated to help plant growers effectively raise the pH level of water ornutrient solutions. Maintaining optimal pH is crucial for healthy plant growth, as it directly impacts nutrient availability and absorption. This pH adjustment product is versatile and suited for all types of plants, including houseplants, orchids, herbs, cacti, African Violets, perennials, seedlings, and cuttings. Ideal for use in pots, containers, greenhouses, hanging baskets, and hydroponic systems, pH Up provides precise control over pH levels to ensure plants thrive.
Why pH Is Important for Plant Health
The pH level (potential Hydrogen) of water and soil influences the availability of nutrients to plant roots. If pH levels are too high or too low, essential nutrients can become “locked up,” making them inaccessible to plants and leading to deficiency symptoms such as yellowing leaves, leaf burn, and stunted growth. Adjusting the pH to the correct level allows plants to absorb nutrients effectively, promoting healthy growth and development.
Directions for Use
To achieve the desired pH level, follow these steps:
- Test Initial pH: Measure the pH of your water or nutrient solution to determine the starting point.
- Add Drops Gradually: Use only a few drops of pH Up per gallon of water. Add gradually and test after each addition to avoid over-adjusting.
- Test pH Again: Continue testing and adjusting until the desired pH level is reached, typically between 5.5 and 6.5 for most plants.
Safety Precautions
Due to the strong pH-raising nature of pH Up, it’s important to handle it carefully:
- Corrosive: This product contains Potassium Hydroxide, a highly corrosive substance that can cause severe burns. Use caution during handling.
- Protective Equipment: Wear protective gloves, and safety glasses, and use them in a well-ventilated area to prevent exposure to fumes and contact with skin or eyes.
- Keep Out of Reach of Children: Store in a safe location, away from children and pets.
First Aid Instructions
- If Swallowed: Do not induce vomiting. Call a Poison Control Center or doctor immediately.
- If in Eyes: Rinse with water for 20 minutes and seek medical attention.
- If on the Skin: Rinse thoroughly with water. Remove any contaminated clothing.
- If Inhaled: Move to fresh air immediately.
