can I use potassium to water my outdoor plants?

Question

I now have a water softener that use the salt pellets, I have been told that if I switch to poassium I can water my plants wth it and not get any damage. Is tat true?

Answer 1

True.

However, don't make the potassium-rich run off from your softening unit the only water your garden or lawn gets. Move the outflow around so that the whole yard benefits and one area doesn't get a lethal dose. Continue with regular irrigation at other times.

Outflow from salt-softened water will do damage to many types of plants and especially lawns. But, if you live in a very rainy area, most of the salt will be leached out every year. If you want to use the outflow of salt-softened water, you can let it out into your yard without serious damage, but avoid setting it too near any planting and never let it on your lawn areas. This pertains to sandy soils. Never drain salt-softener outflow into heavy clay soils.

Answer 2

potassium is required by plants it helps them to fight frost, fight infestation of pests and also the ripening and maturation of seed.

A potassium overdose will kill a plant it is usually indicated by brown specles over the entire leave surface.

A potassium overdose and deficiency both look the same on a plants leaves.
