Plants use calcium to regulate the availability of micronutrients, so excess calcium can cause deficiencies in other nutrients, particularly magnesium and potassium, even when they are present in the environment. Excess calcium can also interfere with the operation of enzymes. The condition of overexposure to calcium can be called calcium toxicity, but it's difficult to identify from a visual inspection of the affected plant.
