Aquavitro Plant Synthesis 350ml

Aquavitro Plant Synthesis

Aquavitro Plant Synthesis is a concentrated aquarium plant nitrogen supplement for planted freshwater aquariums showing signs of nitrogen deficiency. Made by Seachem’s Aquavitro range, it delivers nitrogen in ammoniacal, nitrate and organic forms to support healthy aquatic plant growth.

Key Benefits

• Provides a concentrated 30,000 mg/L nitrogen source for planted tanks.
• Supplies all three usable nitrogen forms: organic, nitrate and ammoniacal nitrogen.
• Approximately 50% of the nitrogen is from organic urea, with the remaining amount split at about 25% nitrate and 25% ammoniacal sources.
• Helps address nitrogen deficiency symptoms such as chlorosis, slow growth and small, stunted plants with large root systems.
• Offers a broader nitrogen profile than supplements based on nitrate alone, as different aquatic plant species may favour different nitrogen forms.

Why Nitrogen Matters
Nitrogen is one of the three essential plant macronutrients in NPK and is needed for proteins and nucleic acids. As nitrogen is mobile within plants, deficiency usually becomes visible on older leaves first as plants move available nutrients towards new growth.

Dosage
Dose 5 mL per 680 litres twice weekly, or as needed. This dosage raises total nitrogen by 0.24 mg/L. If all nitrogen were present as nitrate, this would equal 1 mg/L nitrate; however, because Plant Synthesis contains several nitrogen forms, an immediate nitrate test reading will increase by approximately 0.25 mg/L.

How to Use
Add directly to the aquarium water. For smaller planted aquariums or precise dosing, use the included pipette. Filled to the base of the bulb, the pipette holds 1 mL.

Compatibility
Use Aquavitro Plant Synthesis with Aquavitro activate™ phosphorus supplement at the same dose of 5 mL per 680 litres to provide nitrogen and phosphorus in a 5:1 N:P ratio.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Aquavitro Plant Synthesis used for?
It is used to supplement nitrogen in planted freshwater aquariums, particularly where plants show nitrogen-deficiency symptoms including older-leaf chlorosis, slow growth or stunted growth.

How much Plant Synthesis should I dose in my aquarium?
Dose 5 mL per 680 litres twice per week, or as required. The included pipette measures 1 mL when filled to the base of its bulb.

Will Plant Synthesis raise my nitrate reading?
Yes, but not by the full total nitrogen amount because the product contains organic and ammoniacal nitrogen as well as nitrate. A dose produces an immediate nitrate increase of approximately 0.25 mg/L.

Can I use Aquavitro Plant Synthesis with activate™?
Yes. Dose both Plant Synthesis and Aquavitro activate™ at 5 mL per 680 litres to supply nitrogen and phosphorus in a 5:1 N:P ratio.

Why does this fertiliser contain different forms of nitrogen?
Aquatic plants can use nitrate, ammoniacal and organic nitrogen, but their preferred form varies by species. Plant Synthesis supplies all three forms rather than relying only on nitrate.
