 Wollastonite Natural Calcium Silicate

Use as an alternative to lime and to provide Plant Available Silicon and Calcium in your soilless potting mixes.

For best results, apply wollastonite according to soil test results and agronomic recommendations. Application rates will vary according to plant requirements and soil conditions. Consider calcium and magnesium requirements in addition to silicon supplementation when using this product as part of a balanced fertility program
