The higher the organic matter content of a soil, the more lime it takes to raise the soil pH 1 point, and the more sulfur it takes to lower the soil pH 1 point. Plants grown in soil with a lot of organic matter have healthier roots. They're able to extract enough nutrients from the soil even when the pH isn't optimal.

The greater the concentration of hydrogen ions, the lower the pH will be. Nutrients are most available to plants when the soil's pH is between 6-7. If the coco medium tests lower than 6, it may be necessary to use a buffering agent like dolomite lime or oyster shell to raise the pH.


A basic ingredient of most potting mixes used in foliage plant production is peat, which tends to be acidic. Dolomite is added to growing medium to raise pH to the range of 5.5 to 6.5 and to supply plants with calcium and magnesium needed for healthy growth.
