Properties and benefits
Retains moisture
Absorbs water and releases it gradually to roots, supporting soil during dry periods.
Holds nutrients
Retains dissolved nutrients and helps reduce rapid leaching.
Improves structure
Increases the porosity, aeration and water permeability of compacted soil.
Natural silicon source
Supports root development, growth, flowering and plant resistance to stress.
Suitable for drainage
Helps excess water drain from pots and containers without compacting the growing medium.
Mechanical protection
Fine mineral particles act by contact against pests without harming worms or beneficial soil organisms.
