Description
FloraMax Silica – Plant-Available Silica for Stronger, Healthier Growth
FloraMax Silica delivers one of the most bioavailable forms of silica available to growers, containing 16% soluble silica as Mono-silicic Acid (MSA) and Meta-silicic Acid (MTSA). These are plant-available forms of silica that are completely soluble in nutrient solutions — ensuring optimal uptake and maximum benefit for your plants.
By strengthening plant cell walls and enhancing structural integrity, FloraMax Silica helps plants withstand environmental stress, heat, and dehydration, while improving flower density, yield quality, and shelf life.
Key Benefits
-
Enhanced Plant Strength and Rigidity
Increases the thickness and stiffness of stems and leaves, supporting heavier flowers and fruits. -
Improved Heat Resistance
Strengthens cell walls to reduce leaf wilt during high-temperature conditions and under HID lighting. -
Higher Yield Quality and Longevity
Boosts fruit weight, potency, and post-harvest shelf life through improved plant metabolism and structure. -
Fully Soluble and Highly Stable
Contains pure Mono- and Meta-silicic Acids for superior absorption and stability. Shelf life exceeds 20 years. -
Perfect for Hydroponics and Soil
Silica remains stable and plant-available in all growing media and nutrient reservoirs, confirmed via AWWA Molybdosilicate Method testing.
Directions for Use
- Root Feed: Add 0.1 – 0.25 ml per litre of nutrient solution during both vegetative and flowering stages.
- Foliar Spray: Mix at 3 ml per litre of filtered water and spray plants evenly before lights off for maximum absorption.
How It Works
FloraMax Silica ensures that silica in your system exists in a hydrated, soluble form — either as metasilicic acid (SiO₃H₂) or monosilicic acid (SiO₄H₄) — both of which are easily absorbed by plant roots and tissues. These compounds reinforce cell walls and help regulate transpiration, resulting in stronger, more resilient plants.
Unlike standard silicon additives, FloraMax Silica provides pure, stabilized silica compounds that won’t precipitate or clog systems, ensuring consistent performance even in recirculating hydroponic setups.
Why Use Silica in Hydroponics?
Hydroponic plants lack access to natural silica sources found in soil. Without supplementation, plants can become soft, prone to wilting, and less resistant to stress. Regular use of FloraMax Silica provides:
- Stronger, more upright growth.
- Better tolerance to light and heat stress.
- Reduced susceptibility to bud rot and structural damage.
