lowering PH level

Questionslowering PH level
Anne McLoughlin Staff asked 7 years ago

I have a blue Hydrangea growing in a large tub of Ericaceous compost (it was blue when I bought it last year). The label says the PH level should be 4.5. I checked the compost and the level is 6+ and the flowers this year are red. How do I lower the PH to get it to 4.5?
