You’ve planted your garden, watered it faithfully, and things are growing… but something feels off. Maybe your tomatoes are pale, your lettuce is droopy, or your peppers just aren’t producing like they should.
Here’s the truth: vegetables are hungry, and when they’re missing key nutrients, they’ll show you—if you know what to look for.
This guide breaks down the 5 most common signs your veggies need better nutrition, and how to fix them using safe, clean, organic fertilizer for vegetables from the PuurOrganics line.
Let’s get your garden back on track—naturally!
🌿 1. Yellowing Leaves (Especially at the Bottom)
What it means: This is the classic sign of nitrogen deficiency. Your plant is pulling nitrogen from the older leaves to support new growth, leaving the lower leaves pale or yellow.
The fix:
✅ Use PuurNitro – a plant-based, liquid nitrogen fertilizer that feeds your greens fast without the burn.
🔹 How to use: Mix 5–10 mL per gallon and feed once per week. Foliar spray for quicker recovery.
🥬 2. Slow Growth or Small Leaves
What it means: If your veggies seem stuck—tiny leaves, weak stems, and no real momentum—they’re likely low on available phosphorus, which supports early growth and energy transfer.
The fix:
✅ Add PuurPhos – a liquid phosphorus fertilizer made from upcycled pumpkin seeds. Perfect for root development and plant energy.
🔹 How to use: 5–10 mL per gallon during early growth or pre-flower.
🥦 3. Weak Stems or Blossom-End Rot
What it means: If your tomatoes or peppers are developing soft, black spots (blossom-end rot), or your plants are bending and weak, they’re lacking calcium and possibly magnesium too.
The fix:
✅ Reach for PuurCalMag – it delivers calcium and magnesium in a plant-ready form that supports structure and fruit development.
🔹 How to use: 6–10 mL per gallon weekly, or foliar spray every 10 days.
🟡 4. Yellowing Between the Veins
What it means: This is usually magnesium deficiency, which often shows up in mid-season or under high light. The leaf stays green along the veins but turns yellow in between.
The fix:
✅ Again, PuurCalMag is the answer. Magnesium is essential for chlorophyll production and keeping leaves strong and green.
🔹 How to use: Foliar feeding is especially helpful here—spray 10–20 mL per gallon directly onto leaves.
🌸 5. Lack of Flowers or Small Fruit
What it means: If your plants are leafy but not producing much fruit, they may be short on potassium or micronutrients needed for bloom and fruit development.
The fix:
✅ Add PuurK (for potassium) and PuurBalance (for micros + uptake support). These two help improve fruit size, flavor, and resilience.
🔹 How to use:
-
PuurK – 8–10 mL per gallon during bloom
-
PuurBalance – 4–8 mL per gallon all season
🍅 Bonus Tip: Consistency Is Key
Most garden issues come down to not feeding enough. With PuurOrganics, you can feed your vegetables weekly without risk of overdoing it. The clean, plant-based formulas won’t burn roots or throw off your soil.
Plus, they’re fully soluble—so they’re great for watering cans, hose-end sprayers, or drip systems.
✅ Feed Your Garden Naturally—with Less Guesswork
Your vegetables don’t need a chemistry lab to thrive. Just clean, simple nutrition they can actually use.
