The three basic minerals that plants require for growth are:
Nitrogen (N), Phosphate (P) and Potassium (K).
Also abbreviated as NPK in the horticulture and agriculture industries after the elements abbreviations on the Periodic Table of elements.
Nitrogen (N) is primarily responsible for the green, leafy growth of the plant.
Phosphates (P) responsible for root development of the plant and
Potassium (K) assists in flower and fruit production of the plant
Micro elements are also required to sustain a balanced, deficiency free plant
