Description: Potassium Supplement for Aquatic Plants
Background: Many aquatic plants take in nutrients not only in their roots, but also through their leaves. This being the case, liquid supplements that contain the nutrients essential to the health and long-term maintenance of these plants can be used. There is a major benefit to using liquid supplements versus solid root additives: you can dose a liquid daily and know exactly how much is in the system and available to plants. This is typically not the case with tablet fertilizers. By adding a liquid supplement daily, you are assured that all of the plants in the system are receiving the necessary ions. The amount of supplement used depends on the stocking density of the aquarium, light intensity, and whether or not CO2 is supplemented. Potassium is used by plants in many ways, such as during protein synthesis and the operation of stomata. However, one of its major functions may be in regulating the water balance within the plant. A severe imbalance of potassium could cause cell tissue to swell and rupture, damaging cell tissue. Formula K provides 40,000 mg/L of high quality potassium for your plants, however, without the use of any gluconate or hormones. Kent Botanica presents hobbyists with planted aquariums a range of supplements to help increase growth, coloration, and overall health of their aquatic plants. Formula K was formulated to work in conjunction with Botanica Grow, Fe, Micro, Nitro+, Phos+, GH+, KH+, and Vita supplements. Plants require stable appropriate water parameters, nutrients, a source of inorganic carbon, and proper lighting (needs often vary by species) in order to grow, bloom, reproduce, and maintain health and coloration.
