Ground Quartz: One sprinkle is all it takes!  
Ground quartz is made of silica, the most prominent mineral on the planet. It increases the strength of plant cells (much like calcium works on our bones) which allows for greater elasticity and tensile strength of stems and leaves. Sprinkle this ground quartz powder directly onto the soil once a year, preferably at the beginning of the growing season. Especially helpful for indoor and container plants. Use about 1/4 teaspoon per 4-inch pot. Each packet contains 7 applications.
$3.00 per packet
