PHOSPHORUS DEFICIENCY

Darkening around the edges of leaves, small or absent flowers, stunted growth.

Add bone meal directly to the soil. You can also add used fish tank water to the soil if it doesn't contain saltwater. This water is also a good source of nitrogen.
POTASSIUM DEFICIENCY

MAGNESIUM DEFICIENCY

Add Epsom salt directly to the surface of the soil before watering. Epsom salt is especially beneficial for tomatoes, peppers, and roses.

Add crushed eggshells to the soil. This method will slowly benefit your plants, so make sure to mix the eggshells well into the soil to facilitate the process.
