bogfrog Posted May 21, 2011 hey i was wondering if anyone knows if cacti can be planted in soil with pine trees growing around them? we are looking at a primo wee spot for an outdoor cactus and succulent garden which gets great sun and is nice and dry, only thing is this is at the bottom corner of a pine block, and i know pines are acidic, would this acidity damage/kill the roots and or the plants eventually? cheers, kea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applesnail Posted May 21, 2011 PH can be raised with lime...get a PH soil tester. http://www.cactusinfo.net/outdoor_cacti.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mutant Posted May 22, 2011 I remember a fantastic cactus garden under a couple of Pinus trees from some member here. Ferret was he? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
