You need a PH testing kit. You can test the PH of the water you give your plant using a pool tester, or you can get cheap garden testers at Wal-mart, Home Depot, and most carry-all stores. :)

Personally, I recommend a PH pen. I used to try and use the other methods, but I get sick of matching colors and the possibility of my PH being off.:thumbsup:

Best investment, EVAR!
