Nitrogen is an essential element that plants require to produce chlorophyll. This is absolutely necessary for the plant to photosynthesise. Nitrogen is also part of what constructs the amino acids which are the proteins from which the plants are formed.
If your plant is lacking in nitrogen from its nutrients there are a few potential symptoms although these are similar to what soil disease or stagnant water can cause.
The symptoms to look out for are...
Good nutrients to help prevent a nitrogen deficiency include Alga Grow
and Terra Grow
from Plagron
Other important areas of importance are a suitable temperature, acidity, moisture levels and light intensity.

Fertilise with a product that has a high content of nitrogen such as Terra Growwhich is an NPK fertisliser that contains a total of 2.6% nitrogen.
