THE PLANT WILL “TELL” WHAT MICRO-ELEMENTS IT DOESN'T ENOUGH
If the houseplant is uncomfortable, something is missing, this is immediately reflected in its appearance. Noticing changes, even minor, immediately react, helping my pet to cope with the problem.
The tips of the leaf blades begin to darken, bend down? maybe, there is not enough potassium in the soil.
Leaves turn yellow - iron deficiency.
Brown sticky spots on foliage - copper shortage.
Fall off, not blooming, buds - little phosphorus.
The buds at the ends of the shoots do not develop, and dry up - lack of boron.
Young shoots grow poorly, turned pale - lack of nitrogen.

SPECIALIST COMMENT
It is not entirely correct to judge the lack of any one trace element by the appearance of the plant.. Several may be missing.
The right fertilizer will help you avoid problems. I recommend buying complex chelating drugs.
