Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium: Essential Fertiliser Nutrients for Optimal Plant Growth
Understanding the Essentials: Key Nutrients for a Thriving Garden
Every successful garden begins with nutrient-rich soil, providing plants with the essential elements they need to grow and flourish. The trio of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium forms the foundation for plant health, supporting everything from vibrant green foliage to robust roots and abundant blooms.
Nitrogen (N) fuels leafy growth and photosynthesis, giving plants their lush green colour. A deficiency often reveals itself through yellowing leaves and stunted growth.
Phosphorus (P) strengthens roots and encourages flowering, making it essential for healthy blooms and fruit production. Symptoms like purplish leaves signal its absence.
Potassium (K) enhances water regulation, disease resistance, and fruit quality. Browning leaf edges may indicate a shortage.Achieving the right balance of these nutrients ensures your plants thrive throughout every stage of growth. Learn how to spot deficiencies and adjust your fertiliser mix to create a vibrant, productive garden year-round.
