Each variety of plant can require different levels of pH. These can be monitored with a pH test kit - whether liquid or electronic. pH Up or pH down can be used to adjust pH accordingly.

The HortiCare pH tester is a user-friendly and simple to use pH meter that incorporates an automatic calibration feature. At the touch of a button, the instrument will automatically recalibrate itself when used in conjunction with a 7pH buffer solution.

The unit is housed in a water resistant case and features an easy to read 8mm LCD display indicating pH over the range of 0 to 14pH with a resolution of 0.1pH and an accuracy of ±0.2pH. The unit also incorporates automatic temperature compensation over the range of 0 to +70°C.

The HortiCare pH tester is ideal for measuring pH in hydroponic solutions and similar.
