plant nutrition 101: why do plants need calcium - and how to give them more

Описание: if your plants keep getting soft new leaves or your tomatoes end up with black spots, it’s not always a pest, it might be calcium. let's look at why do plants need calcium

calcium keeps your plants strong. it builds cell walls, supports new roots, and prevents problems like blossom end rot. but it’s also one of the first nutrients to run low in container gardens and raised beds.

in this video, i’ll show you:
– what calcium actually does inside your plants
– how to spot early signs of calcium deficiency
– and how to make a natural calcium spray from eggshells and lemon juice (no store-bought fertilizer needed).

it’s simple, cheap, and uses something you probably threw away this morning.

🪴 what you’ll need:
– clean, dry eggshells
– lemon juice or vinegar
– water + spray bottle
