Fix Calcium Deficiency in Plants: Symptoms and How to Prevent Tip Burn

In this video, we discuss all things calcium when it comes to plant health. Calcium plays a critical role in growth, and deficiencies can wreak havoc on your crops, especially in new leaves and developing areas.

We cover common symptoms such as tip burn in lettuce, tip burn in strawberries, and blossom end rot on fruits like tomatoes and peppers. These issues are often a sign of a calcium deficiency, and solving them goes beyond adjusting your nutrient solution. You also need to address environmental factors that can limit calcium uptake.

We explain why nutrient solution mistakes, although uncommon, can sometimes lead to problems, as well as how a slow uptake of calcium and your water source can play a role in deficiency.

Calcium toxicity is something you also need to watch out for. Too much calcium in the nutrient solution can cause its own set of challenges.

From vine crops to leafy greens, this video gives you all the tips you need to spot calcium issues and prevent them before they damage your harvest.
