Canna Silica

Product detailed description

Canna Silica - silicon for stronger, more resilient and more stable plants

Canna Silica is a premium supplement containing highly available silicon, which helps plants build stronger cell walls, stronger stems and a more resilient leaf structure. As a result, the plant handles stress conditions better, such as heat, drought, wind, high humidity or rapid growth in intensive growing systems.

Silicon is not a classic base fertiliser, but it is a very important supporting element. After uptake, it is stored in plant tissues and helps create a stronger natural structure of the plant. The result is more stable growth, better water management and an overall more vigorous plant.

Main benefits of Canna Silica

• strengthens stems, leaves and cell walls of plants
• increases resistance to environmental stress
• helps plants handle heat, drought, wind and high humidity better
• supports more stable uptake of water and nutrients
• suitable for soil, coco and hydroponic systems
• contains two biologically available forms of silicon
• helps stabilise nutrient solutions with low pH

Why use silicon in cultivation

In modern cultivation, especially in coco, hydroponics and intensive systems, plants may not have enough readily available silicon. Canna Silica supplies plants with a stable source of this element in a well-usable form, which is especially important during phases of rapid growth, when new leaves, stems and other plant tissues are formed.

Regular use helps plants grow more firmly and evenly. Silicon does not remove stress, but it helps the plant respond better to conditions that might otherwise cause weakness, wilting or poorer overall development.

Dosage and use

The recommended dosage is 1-2 ml Canna Silica per 1 litre of water.

Always add Canna Silica first to clean water. Then adjust the pH to approximately 6.5-7, then add base fertilisers and other additives. Finally, check the pH and adjust it to the required value, usually in the range of 5.2-6.2 depending on the cultivation system used.

For best results, use regularly throughout the entire growing cycle. Do not use at the same time as PK additives, for example with Canna PK 13/14.

Suitable use

• growing in soil
• growing in coco
• hydroponic systems
• closed nutrient systems
• plants exposed to heat, drought, wind or high humidity
• intensive cultivation with rapid plant growth

Silica is often part of water additives together with Calmag Agent and can be combined with the base of the given range, for example Terra Vega or Coco A+B.

Storage

Store closed in a cool, dark and frost-free place. Protect from heat, frost and direct sunlight. The recommended storage temperature is 10-35 °C.

Frequently asked questions

How and in what order should Silica be dosed?

Add it first to clean water (1-2 ml/l), adjust the pH to 6.5-7, then add fertilisers and additives and finally check and adjust the pH to 5.2-6.2 according to the system used.

Can Silica be combined with PK 13/14?

No, Canna Silica is not recommended for use at the same time as PK additives such as PK 13/14.

For which media and situations is Silica suitable?

For soil, coco, hydroponics and closed systems, especially in heat, drought, wind, high humidity or intensive rapid plant growth.
