Important Planted Aquarium Note
Plant problems can have several causes, including nutrient imbalance, low CO2, too much or too little light, poor water circulation, damaged roots, melting from transition, or unstable water parameters. Yellowing leaves, pinholes, or weak growth may suggest a nutrient issue, but they should be evaluated alongside the full aquarium setup.
Flourish Potassium does not replace complete plant nutrition. Many planted aquariums may also need nitrogen, phosphorus, iron, trace elements, root tabs, CO2, or substrate support depending on the plants being kept.
