It depends on the plant, assuming we are not talking about an extreme of alkalinity. Neutral is pH 7 Above that is alkaline, below it is acidic. Potatoes planted in alkaline soil will suffer - potatoes like, and thrive in, slightly acidic soil. Cabbage and broccoli love slightly alkaline soil. So it depends on what "plant" you are talking about.
