To treat iron deficiency in plants, preparations such as Anti-Chlorosis, Optifer 6 or hw-ferrovit are used. It is possible to make iron fertilizer yourself:

  • 2 g of iron vitriol and 4 g of citric acid are diluted in 1 liter of water. The leaves are then treated with the solution.
  • Dissolve 40 g of calcium nitrate in 12 liters of water (1 bucket). The plant is watered several times with the mixture. Fertilization with an iron sulfate solution is then repeated. The ratio of iron sulfate to water is similar.
