Seachem Flourish Trace

What is Seachem Flourish Trace?

Flourish Trace supplies a broad range of trace elements demonstrated to be necessary for proper plant health and growth. Trace elements are normally depleted by utilization, oxidation and precipitation. The latter two processes occur more rapidly than with other micronutrients. This makes it important to restore trace elements on a regular basis.

If trace elements aren't restored, then plants may start to show signs of deficiencies. Here are some common signs of trace element deficiencies:

• Boron: death of stem and root apical meristem, leaves twisted, young tissue most affected
• Cobalt: used for nitrogen fixation, same as nitrogen deficiency signs (stunted growth)
• Copper: young leaves dark green, twisted, wilted, tip remains alive
• Manganese: chlorosis of young leaves, with smallest veins remaining green, necrosis between veins
• Molybdenum: chlorosis, twisting, death of young leaves
• Zinc: reduced leaf size, shortened internodes, chlorosis, spotted leaves, older leaves most affected
• Nickel: lack of germination or seed formation, required for iron absorption

How do I use Seachem Flourish Trace?

It's recommended that you use Seachem Flourish Trace with other Seachem Flourish additives, like Flourish and/or Flourish Tabs. These provide a broad range of micro-nutrients (vitamins, amino acids) and micro and trace elements (iron, manganese, nickel, cobalt, etc) that will enhance plant health and growth.

To dose, simply add 1 capful (5 mL) for every 80 L (20 US gallons) twice a week. When using in conjunction with Flourish dose on alternate days. Flourish Trace is safe for invertebrates such as shrimp.
