Diahydro® High Silica Growing Media is a highly pure granulated diatomaceous earth.

Diahydro® High Silica Growing Media has proven benefits when used as a growing media due to it’s high silica content and natural absorbency, amongst many other qualities.

Benefits of using Diahydro® High Silica Growing Media

• 100% natural growing media.
• High plant-available Silica content((94% SiO2) – the slow release of silica promotes stronger, healthier plants that can mature faster.
• Highly absorbent – Diahydro® can absorb up to 150% of its own weight in water.
• Chemically inert.
• Air penetration – the microscopic porous structure of the granules provides aeration and effective thermal insulation to the plant’s root zone. These physical properties provide air movement and prevent root rot.
• Water cycles – You can reduce the watering cycles to 5 minutes each, 4 times daily due to the retention of solution within Diahydro®.
• 100% reusable*
• Optimal thermal conditioning at the root level (temperature swings will not affect plant growth).
• Will not agglomerate due to its multi-faceted structure.
• PH neutral.
• High cation-anion exchange.
• Protection from crawling insects.**
• Naturally occurring nutrient content. Plants will grow in Diahydro® and minimum moisture alone, without need for nutrients.
• As Diahydro® is an inert mineral medium it is sterile and free from disease and seeds.

Diahydro ® offers numerous benefits as a growing media, including but not limited to, natural absorbency and high silica content (94% SiO2) . Silica is essential in strengthening cell walls. Diahydro® offers plenty of plant-available silica which leads to an improvement in the overall structural integrity of the stem, branches and leaves of each plant. Diahydro® is a 100% natural product and has not undergone any chemical process.
