About 112 g of KOH dissolve in 100 mL water at room temperature, which contrasts with 100 g/100 mL for NaOH. [14] Thus on a molar basis, KOH is slightly more soluble than NaOH. Lower molecular-weight alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, and propanols are also excellent solvents. They participate in an acid-base equilibrium.
For the most toxic houseplants, it’s smart to keep them out of reach of pets or out of your home completely, says Dr. Wismer. Ditto for toxic landscape plants; either fence them or don't plant them.

O. umbellatum is a perennial herbaceous bulbous plant , dying back after flowering, to an underground storage bulb. The following year, it regrows from the often shallow rooted bulbs, which are ovoid with a membranous coat, [ 2 ] 15–25 millimetres ( 1 ⁄ 2 –1 inch) long and 18–32 mm ( 3 ⁄ 4 – 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) in diameter.
Nutrients in the soil are taken up by the plant through its roots, and in particular its root hairs.To be taken up by a plant, a nutrient element must be located near the root surface; however, the supply of nutrients in contact with the root is rapidly depleted within a distance of ca. 2 mm. [14] There are three basic mechanisms whereby nutrient ions dissolved in the soil solution are brought ...
Plant growth, root development, and seed and fruit development are usually reduced in potassium-deficient plants. Often, potassium deficiency symptoms first appear on older (lower) leaves because potassium is a mobile nutrient, meaning that a plant can allocate potassium to younger leaves when it is K deficient.

Moments after gathering a giant hogweed plant with her bare hands, 10-year-old Lauren Fuller's hands began to melt as she suffered third-degree burns. The girl may now need skin grafts.
