Phosphorus Deficiency

Description:
Leaves will be small, blue-green and are sometimes covered in blotches. Stems and veins may turn purple, beginning with the bottom older leaves. Leaf tips will turn dark and curl downwards, also beginning with the lower older leaves. Phosphorus helps store DNA and is crucial for photosynthesis, especially in the flowering stage.
