One possible source is Aluminum Sulphate, used to neutralize or
acidify sweet soils. However, I'm rather skeptical that ordinary amounts of
aluminum could cause any problems.
Soils to avoid are the left-overs from houseplants that have been
watered for years, as they contain high levels of soluble calcium, magnesium,
and sodium in carbonate and bicarbonate form. Some plants do not tolerate
those very well.
