Diatomite Rock 硅藻土 (Beauty Flower)

GENERAL INFORMATION

• Diatomite Rock is a naturally mined mineral composed entirely of the skeletal remains of trillions of microscopic, unicellular plankton called diatoms.
• The porous aggregate particles wet rapidly and will absorb greater than 100% of their own weight in water, which they freely release to the surrounding soil and plant roots.
• It is Non-toxic and contains Silica.
• Diatomite protects against rot, and can slowly release silica to orchids that love it.
• It is often used as a component in other orchid media.
• With an ideal particle size of 10 mm - 25 mm, Diatomite Rock acts as a water and nutrient reservoir for plant roots enabling them to withstand common environmental stresses, such as drought and temperature extremes, more easily.

• IMPORTED FROM CHINA.
