Fe. An essential trace nutrient.
A role in chlorophyll formation.
Iron is needed to form chlorophyll and participates in essential plant proteins and enzymes.
Three roles, at the heart of the plant.
-
Chlorophyll
Needed for its formation; iron is not part of its molecular structure.
-
Photosynthesis
Participates in electron transfer.
-
Metabolism
Involved in essential proteins and enzymes.
When iron runs short.
Possible signs
Illustration of possible signs — not a diagnosis.
- Pale new leaves.
- Yellowing between veins. Review other growing conditions before concluding that iron is missing.
Discreet signs, which can have several causes.
These signs are not enough to confirm a deficiency.
Review your current fertilization and the aquarium’s context first.
Observe new growth.
Check the context.
Pale new leaves offer a clue, not a certainty. Review current inputs, pH and growth before adding iron.
