Acidophilic (prefer low pH soils)
Mycorrhizal-dependent
Shallow roots phenotype
Key traits
Strengthens
Root health and proliferation in acidic conditions, water uptake and drought tolerance
Reduces
The negative impacts of suboptimal pH on nutrient availability
Supports
Consistent flowering, berry set, and fruit development in low-pH growing systems
How Nando helps

Cultivation
focus:
Maintaining acidic soil pH, consistent water management, ensuring availability of micronutrients (especially iron)

Common
challenges:
Iron chlorosis due to insufficiently low pH, drought stress impacting shallow roots, root rot diseases (Phytophthora) in poorly drained soils; maintaining beneficial mycorrhizal populations
