Description
Overview
Flourish Trace™ supplies a broad range of trace elements essential for proper plant health and growth. Trace elements are naturally depleted through plant use, oxidation, and precipitation, and require regular replenishment. Flourish Trace™ is safe for invertebrates such as shrimp and allows for more frequent dosing than broad-spectrum supplements without risking buildup of slower-used components.
We generally recommend using Flourish® and/or Flourish Tabs™ as a base. When plant growth is substantial, trace elements may be used faster than other nutrients, making Flourish Trace™ an ideal supplement alongside Flourish® or Flourish Tabs™.
Key Features
- Provides essential trace elements for planted aquaria
- Safe for invertebrates such as shrimp
- Allows for frequent dosing without overloading slower-used nutrients
- Complements Flourish® and Flourish Tabs™ for optimal plant growth
- Available in multiple sizes: 50 mL, 100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, 2 L, 4 L
Signs of Trace Element Deficiencies
- Boron: Death of stem and root apical meristem, twisted leaves, young tissue most affected
- Cobalt: Used for nitrogen fixation; stunted growth similar to nitrogen deficiency
- Copper: Young leaves dark green, twisted, wilted; tips remain 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
Directions / Dosage
- Use 1 capful (5 mL) per 80 L (20 US gallons) twice weekly
- When using with Flourish®, dose on alternate days
- Refer to the dosage calculator for precise applications
