PLANT NUTRITION liquid is designed for aquariums with relatively large numbers of fish compared to plants. It is rich in iron and contains all the all the important nutrients for healthy and sustained aquarium plant growth. It contains potassium and essential micro-nutrients but does not contain nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). These nutrients are supplied from fish excrement and food remnants.
PLANT NUTRITION liquid therefore supplies the nutrients plants easily run out of and which plants ideally absorb via the leaves.
Dose:-
PLANT NUTRITION liquid should be added each week when changing the water. It is supplied in a specially designed bottle which helps to ensure accurate dosing. Pressing the side of the bottle forces the nutrient into the dispensing chamber. Tropica recommend a dose rate of 5 mL per 50 L water per week, but they also recommend that this is set in accordance with plant requirements.For example, light leaves often indicate lack of nutrition, but this can also be due to poor growth.
Regular dosing with PLANT NUTRITION liquid can restore green and luxuriant leaves, however, PLANT NUTRITION liquid is a fertiliser and not a medicine for dying plants.
Tropica recommend that 25 % (minimum) of the aquarium water is changed every second week. If undesirable algae growth does occur, then Tropica recommend increasing the water change (up to 50%) and planting additional rapid growth waterplants such as Hygrophila, Vallisneira and Egeria.
