Description

JBL ProFlora K Macroelements is a potassium supplementary fertiliser for the targeted supply of aquarium plants with the essential macronutrient potassium. Potassium performs central functions in plant metabolism, for example in the control of stomata and enzyme activity in the cells. In nature, potassium is available in unlimited quantities, but in aquascaping aquariums it is often a limiting growth factor. A deficiency can occur quickly, especially with strong lighting, the addition of CO? and rapid plant growth.

The dosage of the fertiliser depends on the individual consumption and the specific conditions in the aquarium. As tap water usually only contains small amounts of potassium, it is advisable to regularly check the requirement with the JBL potassium test. This ensures an optimum supply and helps to prevent a deficiency - for healthy, vital plant growth. Ideally matched to the requirements of demanding plant aquariums.

Features

Effectively prevents potassium deficiency in aquascapes
Macronutrient-based plant fertiliser for maximum effectiveness
Enables precise and needs-based dosing
Supports natural enzyme activity in plant cells

Application

Dosage per 100 Liter
Well lit tank (=1 Watt per liter) + CO₂	6 ml per daily
Without CO₂	4 ml per week

The normal dosage is 5 ml / 100 l of water for a very well-lit tank with >= 1 W / l of illumination and 2.5 ml/100 l of water for a tank that is not as well lit. The supply of carbon dioxide must also be considered. The following table shows recommended fertiliser concentrations according to the general conditions of the aquarium.

As actual precise consumption cannot be predicted, we recommend regularly checking the potassium level with the JBL K Test Set, especially prior to each follow-up dose.

2 ml JBL - ProScape K Macroelements in 100 l water yields a concentration of:
K	1 mg/l
