> WATER FERTILIZERS PH

Fertilizers contain nutritive elements which dissolve themselves in water and the water brings those nutritive elements to the plant. Water is essential to the growth of the plant and makes up more than 75% of the weight.

The water is absorbed by the roots after which it is transferred to the leaves. The water movement from the roots to the different parts of the plant is called the transpiration. Only a fraction of the water brought to the leaves is used for the photosynthesis. Sugar and starch then produced by leaves are returned to the roots.

There is no establish rules as to how much water is needed by the plant neither as how often watering is to be done. The age of the plant, the size of the container, the texture of the medium, the temperature, the humidity and the aeration are as many factors influencing the water consummation by the plant.

Tap water may contain an excessive level of mineral salts such as sulphur or sodium chloride and therefore the pH level may be higher than the acceptable level. In a flower pot garden, excessive fertilization may cause a toxic accumulation which will prevent the germination of the seeds and will burn the roots as well as the edges and the tips of the leaves. It is easy to wash out an excessive accumulation by pouring in the container, two litres of water for each litre of medium and by throwing away the surplus of water dripping out.
