FAQ Section (Suggested for the product page):
Q: How do I know if my plants need iron?
A: The most common sign is chlorosis—yellowing or pale leaves, especially in the newest, youngest growth while the veins may remain green. Stunted growth is another key indicator.
Q: Can I overdose with Flourish Iron?
A: While safe when used as directed, extremely high doses of iron can be detrimental to some plants and shrimp. It is always best to start with the recommended dose and adjust gradually based on plant response.
Q: Is this enough on its own, or do I need other fertilizers?
A: Flourish Iron™ is a supplemental source of one specific micronutrient. Plants also require macronutrients (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) and other micronutrients. For a full fertilizing regimen, you will need a comprehensive fertilizer like Flourish® or the full Flourish® range.
