I bought this because I read it’s amazing for my plants. But my question is, can I use my liquid fertilizer and this? Or does this replace my liquid fertilizers?

    I’ve read that it brings the colors out in the leaves/flowers and it helps keep the roots strong and healthy. I’ll have to look into the kelp one you mentioned. I’m a bit plant crazy as well, my boyfriend adds to my addiction by getting me plant stands and fertilizers.

    You’re supposed to add the silica first, so it bonds to the water molecules. Then add the fertilizer.

    I do both. But the silica I mix in w water into a spray bottle and foliar fertilize so it is absorbed faster

    Jane Perrine has a whole podcast on silica from 2021. Very interesting
