VanSil Wollastonite — Natural Calcium Silicate Fertilizer
VanSil wollastonite by Vanderbilt Minerals is the only OMRI-certified wollastonite mined and milled entirely in the USA — sourced from Lewis County, New York. Not a slag byproduct. The 20 lb size is ideal for market gardeners, small farms, and greenhouse operations incorporating silicon and calcium into regular fertility programs.
Use as a gentle lime alternative to raise media pH while delivering plant-available silicon (Si) and carbon-neutral calcium (Ca) to your root zone. Silicon strengthens cell walls, improves stress and pest tolerance, and enhances overall plant vigor without the pH spike risk of hydrated lime.

This product was recommended by Bruce Bugbee (Professor at Cornel) during his video about Indoor Hemp Production. I am very interested in solid scientific recommendations so that caught my attention. I have noticed that some amaryllis that I have growing in soil less media have many broken and droopy leaves and I wanted my cannabis plants to thrive so I ordered this silica product. Ordering, delivery, packaging, and information were all great. Too early for my anecdotal report about its efficacy.
