Thanks everyone, for the helpful replies. I'm sure what I have is a
cheap tester, so I won't rely on the results. I think I'll play
around with it on my houseplants.

I was hoping to use it to help me turn my hydrangeas blue, as the
blooms thus far have been beigey -pink.

The advice for using epsom salts on roses is great. Thanks


I didn't read all the replies, but if you put sulfur at the base of
your hydrangea it may or may not help with blueing the flowers. Some
varieties are always pink or white or beige. Do you know what kind of
hydrangea you have?
