Unlock the secret to a truly flourishing garden with Searles 500g Garden Borax (Boron), your plant's essential micronutrient, available now at The Grit. Boron plays a pivotal role in numerous critical plant functions, from facilitating respiration and carbohydrate metabolism to ensuring the efficient transport of sugars and the proper absorption of calcium. It's an absolute necessity for the robust formation of new cells, particularly at the vital growing points of young shoots, emerging roots, developing flower buds, and ripening fruit. Without adequate Boron, your plants can struggle significantly; deficiencies often manifest first in the youngest leaves and critical growing points. You might observe the unfortunate death of stem growing points, leading to an unusual "witch's broom" effect where numerous shoots sprout from a single spot, or the death of terminal and lateral buds. Young leaves may thicken, curl, and become brittle, while the lower petals of flowers can brown and prematurely die, sometimes accompanied by a yellow-reddish discolouration. These issues are particularly common in alkaline soils, where Boron can be less available. Thankfully, Searles Garden Borax offers a quick-acting solution, helping to swiftly correct these symptoms and restore your plants to their vibrant best with simple, repeatable applications over a few weeks until full health is regained. Give your plants the fundamental support they need to thrive and produce bountiful, beautiful results.
