High-strength CAL-MAG for fast-growing, heavy-feeding plants. ✅ Chelated Calcium & Magnesium for rapid absorption ✅ Helps prevent blossom en
Every healthy plant needs calcium and magnesium — two of the most important yet often overlooked nutrients in gardening. That’s where Cal-Mag comes in. A Cal-Mag supplement provides a precise balance of calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) to strengthen cell walls, improve nutrient uptake, and enhance chlorophyll production.
If your plants show signs of yellowing leaves, weak stems, or poor fruit quality, they may be suffering from a Cal-Mag deficiency. Adding the right supplement quickly restores strength and resilience.
What Is Cal-Mag and Why Do Plants Need It?
Cal-Mag combines calcium and magnesium in a chelated, highly available form that plants can absorb instantly. These nutrients perform critical functions:
Calcium (Ca): Strengthens cell walls and promotes root and shoot development.
Magnesium (Mg): A key component of chlorophyll, helping plants convert light into energy.
Without them, plants can’t properly absorb other nutrients, especially nitrogen and potassium.
The CompleteGrow Cal-Mag Hydroponic Nutrients Fertiliser provides both elements in the correct ratios for optimal uptake — suitable for soil, coco, and hydroponic systems.
Signs of Cal-Mag Deficiency
Recognising early deficiency symptoms helps prevent long-term damage:
Yellow or brown spots between leaf veins (magnesium deficiency)
Curling or distorted new growth (calcium deficiency)
Slow growth or weak stems
Poor fruit set and blossom end rot (especially in tomatoes and peppers)
Adding CompleteGrow Cal-Mag Nutrients corrects these issues quickly. The formula is chelates-based, ensuring calcium and magnesium remain soluble and available to the roots.
How to Use Cal-Mag for Plants
