FWIW

A little experiment I ran a few years ago

I planted some bolivian rainbows in 3 gal pots.

1 plant was in Azealea soil  pH 6.2
1 plant in Premier Pro Mix MBX with a little composted cow flop,  pH 6.8
1 plant in Cactus soil,  pH about 7.2

The plant in 6.8 pH  soil produced over 2x as many pods as the other 2  
combined had 0 insect or disease problems.

In the garden,  a pH of 6.5 to 7.0 has done the best for me.

Just My Experience
L.B.
