Magnesium is a crucial element for plant growth and development. It plays a vital role in many metabolic processes essential for plant survival. Plants use magnesium to form chlorophyll, the molecule responsible for capturing light energy during photosynthesis. Without chlorophyll, plants cannot perform photosynthesis, so they cannot produce the food they need to survive.
Additionally, magnesium is necessary to activate many enzymes involved in producing carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. These molecules are critical for plant growth and development, providing the energy and building blocks required for cellular processes. Magnesium also plays a role in maintaining cell membranes, which protect the plants from stress and disease.

Magnesium is a mobile nutrient that can be transported within the plant from older to younger leaves. This helps ensure new growths have access to sufficient magnesium for proper development. However, magnesium deficiency can occur in plants grown in soil deficient in the element or in soil with a high pH, which can inhibit magnesium uptake. Symptoms of magnesium deficiency include yellowing of leaves, stunted growth, and reduced yields.
Many options are available when considering what nutrient formula can be used in a Tower Garden. However, at Agrotonomy, we prefer to use the 100% pure mineral soluble ionic nutrients solution manufactured by Tower Garden. The fertilizers manufactured by Tower Garden have the right amount of magnesium and all other macronutrients and micronutrients balanced perfectly for the highly oxygenated environment at the root level of the plants grown in these aeroponic towers.
