Calcium is one of the six macronutrients that every aquatic plant need. Plants use macronutrients in a large amount regularly. As every plant uses them so much, macronutrients should be added to the aquarium on a regular basis.

Calcium is absorbed as Ca2+ ion by the aquatic plants. Calcium helps the function of many organisms of a plant. Calcium is a vital nutrient for the development of the cell membrane as well as cell wall. It also stimulates the rate of cell division. Absorption as well as the conversion rate of nitrate and carbohydrate metabolism rate are also controlled by it.

The calcium that is stored in the plant tissue becomes non-transportable. So, terrestrial plants need a constant supply of calcium. But it is not that much of a problem for aquatic plants because, they can absorb Ca2+ ion from the water column using their leaves.
