Push switch to the right, insert probe deeply into soil. A pH reading greater than 7 is alkaline, a reading less than 7 is acidic. Most indoor plants prefer a slightly acidic soil with a pH between 6.5 and 7. Soil that is highly alkaline will cause the leaves to lose their colour and stunt the growth of the plant. Acidic soil will cause the leaves to wilt and drop.
