Before we start listing the 6 easy sources of calcium to plants, we will quickly know the importance or the function of calcium in plants. Calcium plays a very important role in overall growth of plants. It helps in absorption of major nutrients by the roots in the presence of water. It is essential for formation and integrity of plant cell wall and hence very essential for fruit formation.
What are the signs and symptoms of calcium deficiency in plants?
Calcium deficiency can cause necrosis or death of plant tissue at certain parts of the plant particularly at the tips of fruits and tips of growing leaves which appear like burnt tips. Blossom End rot Disease seen in tomatoes, peppers and squashes is the best example of such necrosis due to calcium deficiency. Plant chlorosis or leaf yellowing and stunted growth are also signs of calcium deficiency.
Having said that, now let’s list out the top 6 options or the sources of calcium to plants. If you do vegetable gardening or intend to grow veggies organically in your home or terrace garden, please follow this till the end!

Sahi jankari 👌👍Mai chaawal dhoya huwa pani dalti hu mere sare powde hatte katte hai. 😊🙏
Can we use Plaster of paris which is used for filling wall cracks instead of gypsum. Will it be safe?
AWESOME SOLUTION
Thank you
Calcium Carbonate doesn't absorb well in the human digestive system. I wonder if plants can really use it.
Thank you for the garden tips. i tried egg shells and they worked wonders but i have not tired vinegar and chalk. Good tips I will try that out.
I had some reptile calcium would this work for my plants. I belive i used it lastyear i think it help it nice smelly juicybuds if it wasthat did that.
Tons and tons of gypsum in cement plants
Helpful for cement plant workers 🐸
My tomato’s affected by that blacky rottening kind of disease I will try
Sağol
Well that did not work on our Florida ants where I live But cheap old grits sprinkled out around the areas you gave ants and they will take them under ground to the rest of the colony and when the eat them they swell up an die. Works great
Love your videos thank you
vinegar will kill everything
it has been decades since blossom end rot was an issue. of course, there was no interweb back then. i incorporate ground-up eggshells into my soil mixes. for fairly quick calcium availability i used dehydrated nonfat milk … 👌🏿
Thank 🙏you sir very beneficial information about calcium deficiency
In the 🌱plant's and a very easy remedies for it.. Thank you once again..
Can we use colored chalk piece ??
Have you tried crushed limestone or oyster shells? I have a machine I got from Bottle Crusher LLC that is used for crushing glass bottles into usable sand. It can also crush limestone and oyster shells. I added crushed oyster shells to the glass sand to use as mulch. It kept the plant's roots cooler and moist while the surface remained dry. No weeds or bugs. I planted a rose bush and 4 flowers using this mixture. The bush and flowers grew like I gave them steroids. I am now experimenting with glass sand, cow manure, limestone to see how they grow. I recently got 4 orchards and I'm going to use limestone cullet as a soil.
Can I use chalk as a source of calcium to plants will it be harmful? waiting for your reply

Thankyou for the go garden I go.
Thank you so much. God bless you. You are a garden 👼
Just bury a couple fish under your plants about 8 inches deep a couple weeks before planting. They will grow like crazy and need little to no fertilizers.
Can I use completely death plants calcium? And vitamins D ? How can use
Can I use calcium death’s plants s ? And can I use. Vitamins D? How can use?
High quality content! love your Vids!
Happy tips! Thank you 🙏
Excellent video. I will first try the vinegar hack because I can go out tomorrow and get lime fast, but I'm not sure if I will have to get gypsum online.
Great advice, I was desperate one year and used tums for foliar spray. One tomato had end rot, the others grew normally. I used many of your own advice on other things and they all work well.
Your awesome !!!
Do you buy egg shell powder or just crush eggshells to make it into a powder?
Your recommendation of using crushed egg shells, a few spoons of lime & vinegar to improve calcium uptake for veggies plants, how many plants can this treat?
My parents always added oyster shells bought from the feed store. It too took many years to decompose, but if you add it every year especially for our heavy clay soy it was a good long term solution. They used to be very cheap, last time I got them though it was pretty expensive.
Wow. My tomatoe fruits having black spots at bottom,I was wondering why.?now I have ideas…it just lack of calcium.. I would like to try eggs shells and vinegar as I have them both.. thank u for D info…
the way of your talking is very nice .only important things . thanks आप ने केवल काम की बात बताई और कोई बकवास भी नही की वीडियो पसंद आया धन्यवाद
Great video! I've definitely added expired vitamins to my compost bins and watered plants with spoiled milk! I use any water I cook with to plants because I can't waste anything!
