Flourish Trace delivers a comprehensive array of essential trace elements proven to support optimal plant health and development (refer below for deficiency symptoms).
Trace elements are typically depleted through consumption, oxidation, and precipitation, with the latter two occurring faster than with other micronutrients, making consistent replenishment essential.
Flourish Trace may be used alone or in conjunction with Seachem Flourish. Best results are obtained when both are used. Flourish Trace is safe for invertebrates such as shrimp.
Signs of Trace Element Deficiencies
-
Boron: Death of stem and root apical meristem, leaves twisted, young tissue most affected
-
Cobalt: used for nitrogen fixation, same as nitrogen deficiency signs (stunted growth)
-
Copper: Young leaves dark green, twisted, wilted, tip remains alive
-
Manganese: Chlorosis of young leaves, with the smallest veins remaining green, necrosis between veins
-
Molybdenum: Chlorosis, twisting, death of young leaves
-
Zinc: Reduced leaf size, shortened internodes, chlorosis, spotted leaves, older leaves most affected
-
Nickel: lack of germination or seed formation, required for iron absorption
Directions
Use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 80 L (20 US gallons) twice a week. When using in conjunction with Flourish, dose on alternate days.
