Your garden rewards every act of care—sow a little effort, reap abundance.

Calcium might not get the same attention as nitrogen or phosphorus, but it’s a quiet powerhouse for plant health. From preventing disease to ensuring strong growth, here’s why your garden needs it—and how to spot when your plants are begging for more.

Why Do Plants Need Calcium?

Calcium plays several critical roles:

  • Strengthens cell walls, reducing rot and disease (like blossom end rot in tomatoes!).
  • Improves nutrient uptake by aiding root development.
  • Balances soil chemistry, especially in acidic soils.

Without enough calcium, plants become weak, stunted, and prone to pests—like a body without enough vitamins.

Which Plants Love Calcium the Most?

Some plants are calcium-hungry superstars:

  • Tomatoes & Peppers: Blossom end rot is a classic sign of deficiency.
  • Leafy greens (kale, spinach): Crisp, sturdy leaves rely on calcium.
  • Fruit trees (apples, citrus): Prevents bitter pit and splitting.
  • Legumes (beans, peas): Supports nitrogen fixation.

Signs Your Plants Need More Calcium
Watch for:

  • Curling or distorted new leaves
  • Brown, dead spots on fruits/veggies
  • Weak stems or slow growth

How to Give Your Plants a Calcium Boost

While eggshells and lime are common fixes, water-soluble calcium delivers fast absorption—perfect for a quick rescue. (Psst: Learn to make your own at our September Bantaba!)

Pro Tip: Test your soil first! Too much calcium can lock out other nutrients.
