I started using silica in the water a few months ago, the new leaves are velvety now 😊

Ooo that’s good to know—those velvety leaves are gorgeous! I’ve been curious about silica but haven’t tried it yet. Do you use it every watering or just occasionally?

### DanishGramma reageerde op 2025-05-04

I’m using it every other watering

### Buffy reageerde op 2025-05-05

I just ordered some silica! Yeah!

Thanks for sharing! Does it work with other vining plants?

Is this the stuff you’re talking about?
