PROBLEMS Nutritional: Palms are very susceptible to nutrient deficiencies of nitrogen, potassium, magnesium and manganese.
Albert Graham,
Backyard Pool Drainer

A deficiency of magnesium affects the metabolism of calcium, potassium, and sodium.
Research also indicates that magnesium deficiency may cause sodium and potassium to have a tendency to remain around the nerve, causing the excitation of these minerals, when they should be at rest.
A deficiency of calcium means an excess of sodium and a deficiency of potassium.
