The Science of Palm Nutrition
The Palm Specialized Fertilizer Formula "Premium Pro"
Palms, as fast-growing tropical plants, have special nutrient requirements for optimal growth:
- Nitrogen (N) for leaf growth: Promotes formation of lush green pinnate leaves and strong fronds. Nitrogen is essential for the characteristic tropical green of palms.
- Phosphorus (P) for root development: Intensively stimulates root formation and ensures strong, healthy root systems. Phosphorus is the key to strong palms.
- Potassium (K) for stability: Strengthens frond stems and increases resistance to environmental stress. Potassium makes palms robust and vital.
- Magnesium (Mg) for chlorophyll: Central atom of chlorophyll, important for lush green leaves and optimal photosynthesis. Prevents yellowing of leaves.
- Iron (Fe) against chlorosis: Prevents iron deficiency chlorosis and ensures lush green coloration. Particularly important for tropical plants.
- Manganese (Mn) for enzyme activity: Important for photosynthesis and metabolic processes, prevents manganese deficiency symptoms.
- Trace element complex: Complete spectrum of all important micronutrients for optimal palm health.
- Complex/chelate compounds: Revolutionary technology for immediate nutrient availability and optimal uptake.
- Osmotic balance: Supports water regulation and stress tolerance of palms.
