Many animals within the park rely on specific types of plants as their sole food source. Monarch butterflies, for example, only lay their eggs on milkweed, and only eat milkweed while in their caterpillar phase. Milkweed requires a moderately acidic soil to grow, surviving in soil pH levels from 4.8 to 6.8.As with most other plants, it cannot tolerate pH levels below 4. Overly-acidic soil prevents roots from being able to absorb water and nutrients crucial for survival.ilkweed requires a moderately acidic soil to grow, surviving in soil pH levels from 4.8 to 6.8.

Soil pH is the measure of the soilâs acidity or alkalinity. Soil acidity and alkalinity is measured on a scale of 0 to 14, called the pH scale. Most plants grow between the pH range of 4.5 to 8.0; a soil pH of 5.0 has a high acid content; a soil pH of 7.5 has a high alkaline content; a soil pH of 7.0 is neutral.ou will find that in the lists below, some plants may be repeated if they have a wide soil pH range tolerance; that is some plants will grow equally well in acid or alkaline soil. Acid Soil Crops: The following crops prefer a pH of 4 to 5.5: 1  Blackberry (5.0-6.0). 2  Blueberry (4.5-5.0).
