Primer on Plant Nutrition

If you are a member of the International Phalaenopsis Alliance, you may have been lucky enough to see Bill Argo’s five-part primer on plant nutrition published in their journal. For those that don’t know him, Bill is the PhD at the Blackmore Company who worked with the folks at Michigan State University in the development of the “magic” MSU fertilizer formulas, as well as our own K-Lite.

Bill was kind enough to send those articles to me so that I can share them with you!

Part 1 – Understanding plant nutrition

Part 2 – Water Quality

Part 3 – Fertilizers

Part 4 – Substrates

Part 5 – Putting it all together
