For Acid-Loving Plants: If you have plants like azaleas or blueberries that thrive in acidic soil, reduce or omit the baking soda and increase the amount of organic compost to maintain the proper pH balance.
For Cactus or Succulents: Reduce the amount of water used in the solution, as these plants need less moisture. You can also add a bit of crushed eggshell to the mix for added calcium.
For Indoor Plants: Use a diluted version of the mixture, reducing the amount of each ingredient by half. Indoor plants are generally more sensitive, and less concentrated solutions are safer.
