Plants need a variety of nutrients in different ratios to stay healthy. Some nutrients are required in bigger quantities than others.
Now, with this animation, we want to show where each type of nutrient is mainly used. Keep in mind that all of these nutrients are important for the overall health of the entire plant.
The growth potential of any plant will reduce if any of the required nutrients are not available in the right quantity.
Have a look at one of our previous articles about plant nutrients in general if you’d like to read more about this topic.
Successfully caring for your young plants
Always make sure that the following components of cultivation are specialised for young plant propagation:
- irrigation strategy
- nutrient composition
- nutrient balance
- physical properties of your growing media
The Kekkilä Professional product ranges for young plants & seedlings match these exact needs. Our substrates for young plants not only offer the long-term stability required to grow strong and healthy young plants. They are also dust-reduced. This means the porosity and airiness of the growing media stay on a good level. A high air porosity allows plant roots to develop and grow well.
