    Kratom refers to both Mitragyna speciosa, a tree native to Southeast Asia, and products manufactured from its leaves sold as herbal supplements. Kratom leaves contain a range of chemical compounds known as bioactive alkaloids, which have physiological effects. A mathematical model of the Kratom plant under a particular nutritional treatment will be provided in this research. Also, the methods for setting the initial condition and boundary condition will be presented. Also, as the plant grows, the solution's domain shifts every time. Techniques for adjusting the specific nutrient's physical parameters are also provided. With the use of an explicit finite difference method, the solutions are approximated. The specific nutritional concentrations are calculated for each height level. As shown, the specific nutrient will spread from the root to the apex of the trunk. The nutrient has the capacity to stimulate the growth of the Kratom. The specific nutrient concentration along the trunk may be measured using the proposed mathematical model as the Kratom plant grows each day. A proposed numerical model with a specific nutrient can be used to develop a precise model, such as a one-dimensional model of branches and foliage. It would be more captivating if the plant nutrients indicated here were researched for their ability to accelerate the growth of large or medium-sized Kratom plants. In conclusion, the study shows that calcium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate may be useful as a growth promoter for Kratom plants and suggests a way to measure its effects quantitatively.
