Our tips against deficiency symptoms in plants. What to do when plants develop yellow leaves or brown leaf edges.
Plants can tell you when they are missing something. These warnings should then be taken seriously and the appropriate measures taken. Here we present 4 deficiency symptoms :
- Pale Leaves: One might think autumn is coming. But if your plants are already losing their leafy greens in spring or summer, then this is the unmistakable sign that there is a nitrogen deficiency. Liquid fertilizer in the irrigation water can already provide a sufficient remedy.
- Light leaves with dark spots: Here the plant lacks magnesium. Either add it separately or use a complete fertilizer that contains increased magnesium levels.
- Yellow Leaves: Here, too, autumn is a long way off. Iron deficiency is the cause here. Especially when the leaves are turning yellow but the veins are still green. Fertilize here as well.
- Brown leaf edges: It is often thought that the plant is not getting enough water. But here potassium deficiency is to blame. There is no getting around a fertilizer.
Fertilize correctly and selectively and you will always have he althy plants.
