Thank you.

You're welcome! Yes, you are correct. In addition to sunlight, water, soil, and air, plants also need nutrients to grow. Nutrients are essential for plants to perform various biochemical processes and fulfill their nutritional needs. There are three primary nutrients required by plants in large amounts: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). These nutrients are often present in fertilizers that are used to provide plants with the necessary elements for healthy growth. Additionally, plants also require several micronutrients, such as iron, magnesium, and zinc, albeit in smaller quantities. These nutrients are usually provided to plants through the soil or by using fertilizers that are specifically formulated to meet their nutritional requirements.
