Liquid Fertiliser for Geraniums NPK 4-6-8 with Trace Elements

The liquid fertiliser for geraniums NPK 4-6-8 with trace elements is a complete mineral fertiliser that promotes the growth and flowering of all varieties of geraniums and other flowering plants grown in pots, planters, and flower beds. It corrects deficiencies and feeds the soil without unbalancing or polluting it when used wisely and at the recommended doses.

This fertiliser for flowering plants comes in the form of a concentrated solution of nutrients to be diluted in water. It does not come from organic matter derived from living organisms, but from inert mineral matter like certain rocks. Its high potassium content promotes abundant flowering. Its formulation is NPK 4-6-8 with trace elements. This means that it is composed of:

• 4% Nitrogen (N): this element contributes to the development of non-reproductive aerial parts of the plant, especially leaves and stems.
• 6% Phosphorus (P), which strengthens plant resistance and contributes to root development.
• 8% Potassium (K): essential for good harvests, it promotes flowering and fruit development.

• Soluble trace elements in water: 0.013% Boron (B), 0.003% Copper (Cu) chelated by EDTA, 0.021% Iron (Fe) chelated by EDTA, 0.011% Manganese (Mn) chelated by EDTA, 0.001% Molybdenum (Mo), 0.006% Zinc (Zn) chelated by EDTA.

   

Uses: from February to November. Recommended for potted plants (geraniums, begonias, petunias and surfinias, impatiens, lobelias, nemesis, etc.) and garden flowers (clarkias, cleomes, marigolds, Indian carnations, etc.).

Dosage: 1 capful or 20 ml/5L of water

To live and multiply, plants need water, about twenty essential nutrients that they find in mineral form in the soil, carbon dioxide (CO₂) present in the air, and solar energy essential for photosynthesis. The basic elements, called macronutrients, are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). They must be present in the soil in significant quantities. The secondary elements, less important in terms of quantity but essential, are calcium (Ca), sulfur (S), and magnesium (Mg). Finally, trace elements, necessary in very small quantities, are iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), copper (Cu), boron (B), zinc (Zn), chlorine (Cl), sodium (Na), cobalt (Co), vanadium (V), and silicon (Si). The role of fertiliser is to compensate for soil deficiencies and provide, through optimal dosage, the elements that promote plant growth, flowering and fruit production, or root, bulb, and tuber development.
