Trace elements are elements like zinc, copper, iron, sodium, calcium, etc.,
that you just find really small amounts (traces) in whatever medium you are
talking about, be it soil or blood or whatever. A lot of times these
elements are needed in very small amounts for proper growth. For example,
sometimes if there's not enough iron in the soil, plants get yellowish. So
you add some.
Sometimes you can get your soil tested to find out what trace elements are
there, and what ones are not. I suspect you can find stuff at the garden
center that has trace elements in it.
