Welcome to NGA @Raymondver Smiling

What have you filled your fabric pot with? I believe it's normally recommended to use some sort of "potting mix" for containers, and a potting mix would already be at a suitable pH.

I'm not personally familiar with that potting mix and hopefully someone else here will have some actual experience with it. In the meantime, how did you check the pH? I ask that because a lot of the pH testers that are sold are not very accurate. Also, did you use any sort of fertilizer on your plants? (It doesn't appear that this mix contains fertilizer on its own.)
