Potassium promotes the opening of stomata located on the foliage of plants or plants of different types as well, which allows for better gas exchange. (Stomata) is the term used to describe the very small diameter openings found on the aerial parts of plants and various plants.
Potassium reduces water stress: water stress occurs when a plant releases more water than it absorbs.
Potassium strongly helps leaves to maintain their beautiful green color.
Potassium makes plants less vulnerable and especially more resistant to cold, drought and various diseases, and strengthens the plant's immune system.

Good to know about potassium and magnesium
The assimilation of potassium by the plants is favored thanks to the magnesium (Mg) and phosphorus (P). It is therefore useful to use from time to time a fertilizer enriched in these two minerals to meet the different needs of your different plants for your indoor or outdoor crops in your gardens or terrace.
Did you know that?
Potassium activates more than 60 enzymes
It also limits water stress in plants because it regulates the opening of stomata. Potassium is abundant in soils of primary and volcanic rocks, it can sometimes be lacking in sandy soils or when watering is excessive.
However, a lack of magnesium and phosphorus can block its assimilation.

Potassium is mobile in the plant.
Potassium plays an important role in the absorption of cations, in the accumulation of protein hydrates, as well as in the maintenance of the cells and the regulation of the water economy of the plant. Potassium is also an element of reinforcement and resistance of plants to frost, drought and diseases.
Potassium is essential for the transfer of assimilates to the reserve organs of the plants (bulbs and tubers). For these reasons, it is particularly important for crops such as potatoes, beets, strawberries, raspberries, lemons, etc..
Potassium in the soil is only found in mineral form and comes either from the decomposition of organic matter and minerals in the soil or from fertilizers.
For some minerals such as potassium, the amount of potassium in the soil must be greater than the amount needed.
Indeed, fertilizers can be present in the soil but not available to the plant at the moment.
Potassium is mainly retained by humus or clay in some soils, and can therefore be lost in relatively large quantities through drainage or watering.
Potassium is often supplied in one go, in an irregular way, in large quantities, because it is stored by the soil and released progressively so that the plant can benefit from it at the right time according to its real needs in potassium
The plants very demanding in potassium are the beet or the potato, while the plants not very demanding are the soft wheat, the durum wheat, the barley for example but many others find the list of plants on our web site and their various needs according to the modes of cultures used.
