A custom plant supplement designed to correct the inherent problem of calcium, magnesium and iron mineral deficiencies found in most soil fertilizers and some hydroponic nutrient formulas. I use cal mag to provide my plants with a secondary source of macronutrients.Plants do not have bones or teeth, but calcium does play a key role in their structure. Cal gives these cells more rigidity, and allow plants to have a strong structure and shape despite not having a skeletal system. Calcium is also vital in activating specific enzymes in some plants. The mineral has a key role in important activities like nitrogen metabolism, and translocation (the movement of organic molecules in plants). In fruit trees and plants, calcium is essential for the growth and development of healthy fruit structure.
Many important enzymes cannot be created at all in the absence of magnesium. 🌱 cannot create chlorophyll in their cells without magnesium.Magnesium also helps out in processes like absorption and transport of key nutrients like phosphorus and iron. And in fruit plants, it also helps the fruit to reach full maturity.
