Will this raise the pH in the pot above what the plant needs? Tha
baking soda.Do I need to do something to avoid that?

Hi Joe -

The nice thing about potted plants is that the
water and excess minerals run out the bottom.
I'd be more concerned about an excess of
baking soda used on plants in the ground.

There are some great sites out there for
information. Several states and university
ag departments also have good information.
My bookmark file looks like the Library of
Congress! LOL
