Hey there, plant enthusiasts! We’re moving into August soon and we will be focusing next on Calcium🌿 In this article, we’re going to learn about a super important nutrient for your plants: calcium. Just like we need strong bones to grow big and strong, plants need calcium to stay healthy and grow tall.
What Does Calcium Do for Plants?
Calcium is like the cement in a building. It helps build strong cell walls, which are the building blocks of the plant. Here are some cool things calcium does:
Strengthens Cell Walls: Calcium helps make the walls of the plant cells strong. This helps the plant stand up tall and not fall over.
Helps Roots Grow: Calcium is important for healthy root growth. Strong roots help the plant take in water and nutrients from the soil.
Supports New Growth: Calcium helps the plant make new leaves and flowers. It’s especially important when the plant is growing quickly.
Protects Against Disease: Strong cell walls make it harder for diseases to get inside the plant and make it sick.
Aids in Nutrient Transport: Calcium helps move other nutrients around inside the plant. This is important for overall plant health and growth.
Improves Soil Structure: When calcium is added to the soil, it can help improve soil structure, making it easier for roots to grow and take up nutrients.
Signs of Calcium Problems
How Arvum Plant Labs Can Help
Just like people can have too much or too little of something, plants can have too much or too little calcium. It can be difficult to tell with your eyes what might be happening because many different nutrient imbalances can show similar signs.
At Arvum Plant Labs, we have a special way to check the calcium levels in your plants. It’s called leaf tissue analysis. We recommend leaf tissue analysis to objectively determine what your plants need. Here’s how it works:
You Send Us Leaves: You take a small sample of leaves from your plants and send them to our lab in Fairfield, CA. (Reach out to sales@arvumplantlabs.com for sampling supplies)
We Test the Leaves: Our lab tests the leaves to see how much calcium they have. We do this quickly and get results back to you within 48 hours!
We Give You a Report: You’ll get a report that shows the exact amount of calcium in your plants. The report will tell you if the calcium level is too low, just right, or too high based on the plants’ stage of growth. Our agronomist will also give you recommendations on what to do next.
Why Leaf Tissue Analysis is Awesome
Knowing the exact calcium levels in your plants helps you keep them healthy and strong. Here’s why our leaf tissue analysis is super helpful:
Precise Information: You get exact numbers, so you know what’s really going on with your plants. Plus, you’re going to see potential problems before you can spot them visually.
Quick Results: You get the information fast, within 48 hours from when our lab receives your samples, so you can take action quickly.
Expert Recommendations: Along with the calcium levels, you’ll get advice from our agronomist on what to do next. This can help you fix any problems and keep your plants growing well.
