Give your plants a real lift with CalCarb Foliar Booster
A continuous source of calcium is essential for plant health. Without it, plants’ immune systems really suffer, growth becomes stunted, and blossom rot is a real danger. Calcium can be locked out in the rootzone by too much of other nutrients or by pH problems. Xtreme Gardening CalCarb avoids all that by delivering calcium to your plants directly via the leaves. CalCarb ensures that a calcium deficiency is never a problem, all while delivering a nice dose of extra CO2 to boost photosynthesis. CalCarb also helps plants deal with heat stress
- Made in California, USA
- Contains an easily absorbed form of calcium
- Transports a dose of CO2 straight to the leaves
- Prevents the problems caused by calcium deficiency
- Drives a boost to photosynthesis
- Helps to reduce the effects of heat stress
- Use just once a week for greener, healthier plants
How Xtreme Gardening Cal Carb Foliar Boost Works
CalCarb is the latest product in the Xtreme Gardening range of organic products. It’s a formulation of calcium and carbon in an unstable form that releases CO2 exactly where it’s needed at plant stomata and provides the plant with two of the nine macro nutrients required for proper plant nutrition; Carbon and Calcium.
CalCarb is an easy to use foliar spray proprietarily-derived from a natural occurring compound. It utilizes a new form of nanotechnology which processes the compound to such a fine size that it is able to permeate the foliage of plants. Once inside the cell walls, CO2 is released as both calcium and usable carbon dioxide, increasing photosynthesis levels three-fold.
Both calcium and carbon are critical to plant development. Calcium is generally supplied through the soil and carbon enters the plant as carbon dioxide which is necessary for photosynthesis to occur. CalCarb is a unique form of a simple and very common compound that contains both calcium and carbon. Calcium carbonate or CaCO3 is used in agriculture throughout most of the world to adjust soil pH levels. But CalCarb is an unusual form of calcium carbonate that is highly unstable, converting to calcium oxide (CaO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) rapidly when applied to the foliage.
These unique phenomena increases calcium availability to plants through the foliage, but more importantly, the CO2 levels directly outside and inside the stomata can rise threefold which is near the optimum for photosynthesis efficiency. CalCarb is currently the only product that you apply to the surface of plants for an increased CO2 levels.
CalCarb works as a Stress Reducer and Plant Rescuer – Forget to water? Didn’t remember to bring that tender houseplant in before the first cold snap? If it is not too far gone, treat it with CalCarb and you may be able to rescue it. CalCarb helps in recovery by increasing photosynthesis in the foliage that is not too seriously damaged and by raising the surface pH of damaged foliage which deters airborne pathogens form taking advantage of the weakened cellular tissue.
Calcarb has a modulating effect on the pH at the leaf surface – increasing the pH to basic (alkaline) conditions under which powdery mildew cannot take hold. Regular application may Prevent End-Rot on fruiting varieties and Powdery Mildew from colonising leaf surfaces.
Calcarb is the only CO2 plant supplement that can be used outdoors due to the proximity to the stomata – the tiny openings in leaves part of the plant that actively uses CO2. Calcarb can enter the stomata where it releases CO2 and calcium.
