Potassium and Water Management in Cactus and Succulents

Cactus and succulent plants are adapted to arid climates and store water in their tissues to survive periods of drought. Potassium plays a key role in this adaptation by regulating the opening and closing of stomata — the small pores on leaf and stem surfaces — which controls water loss through transpiration. Adequate potassium helps these plants manage water more efficiently, supporting both water storage and movement within plant tissues.
