Problems related to nutrient deficiency can also occur when growing potted plants on balconies and terraces.If fertilization is not carried out, plants may suffer from nitrogen (N) deficiency.This ingredient is responsible for the increase in green mass of the plant.
Its lack is manifested by a very light color of the plant, inhibition of growth and very poor growth.Remember that excess nitrogen can also be unfavorable, because it lowers frost resistance of plants, causes delayed flowering and fruiting.Potassium (K) and phosphorus (P) are also very important nutrients for plants.
Potassium is responsible for regulating the water balance of plants and for flowering and fruiting. Its lack causes the plants to produce little or no flowers.Phosphorus, in turn, is responsible for plant propagation, flowering and, together with potassium, it is responsible for the lignification of plants.Calcium (Ca) is also an important component, which is used mainly for soil deacidification.
A substrate that guarantees he althy plant development
Calcium improves soil properties and affects the access of many nutrients. Important micronutrients for the plant are magnesium (Mg) and iron (Fe).These components, apart from participating in many life processes of the plant, are part of the green bodies.Lack of these components is most often manifested in the lightening of the leaf tissues.
