The Science Behind Ornamental Plant Nutrition
Unlike vegetable and fruit plants, ornamentals are cultivated primarily for their visual appeal. This means they have specific nutrient requirements that differ from other plant types. Before developing our feed, UKGROW undertook rigorous research to understand these unique nutritional profiles.
The Complexity of Nutrient Absorption
Soil pH, water quality, and existing soil nutrients all affect how well an ornamental plant can absorb the nutrients it needs. That’s why our specialized feed is pH-balanced to enable optimal nutrient absorption.
The Magic of Micronutrients
Beyond the standard N-P-K (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium), ornamentals require a range of micronutrients for optimal health. Our feed includes trace elements such as Magnesium, Sulphur, and Calcium, essential for cellular structure and photosynthesis.
