1. Nitrogen (N): Promotes lush, green growth and is usually supplied as nitrates (NO3).
2. Phosphorus (P): Supports energy transfer and root development, supplied as phosphates (PO4).
3. Potassium (K): Enhances overall plant health and disease resistance, supplied as potassium sulfate (K2SO4) or potassium chloride (KCl).

Benefits:

• Promotes healthy plant growth
• Prevents nutrient deficiencies
• Enhances oxygen levels
• Improves aesthetic appeal
