Why would a plant like acid? Obviously go with the soil.
alkaline
No, high alkaline soil and high acid soil are not the same. High alkaline soil has a high pH level above 7, while high acid soil has a low pH level below 7. The pH level affects nutrient availability for plants, so it is important to understand the pH of your soil for successful gardening or farming.
Azaleas like acid soil if you use bone meal it takes the acid out of the soil because it has a alkaline reaction in the soil. Don't not use for Azaleas.
Roses thrive in well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. A loamy soil with a pH around 6.0-6.5 is ideal for roses, as it provides good structure and nutrition for healthy growth. Adding compost or aged manure can help improve soil quality for growing healthy roses.
Soil is not the same everywhere. In different locations we can find soil with different chemical composition, and different pH. Soil can be either acid or alkaline.
The property of slaked lime that is important in neutralizing acid soils is its ability to react with acidic compounds in the soil, such as hydrogen ions, to raise the soil's pH. This helps to make the soil more alkaline and provides a better environment for plants to grow, as many plants prefer neutral to slightly alkaline soil conditions.
It depends on the preference of the plant .
Some groups of plants e.g. most Rhododendrons and Heathers will not tolerate an alkaline soil. Others like Prunus Berberis Acer and Buddleia will tolerate and flourish in an alkaline soil within limits. Neutral soil is PH7.5 ,acid soil is below that and alkaline soil is above it. most plants prefer pH of 5.5-6.5 as this slighly acidic soil is best for nutrient absurbtion.

b cos it is already acidic
