Description
Silic Rock is a silicon fertilizer that helps your plant face a hidden problem: deficiency of silicon.
Silicon improves the absorption of nutrients that are essential for your plant.
Silic Rock Plagron It contains silicon that is available and easily absorbed by the plant. Strengthens cell walls and increases resistance.
Silicon and silicates are responsible for the correct absorption and assimilation of nutrients, and therefore are essential for vigorous growth and abundant flowering.
Silic Rock acts at the cellular level, enlarging the cell walls, which not only improves their resistance but also increases the robustness of the plants, reduces stress and allows them to better tolerate periods of drought.

Advantages and benefits of using Silic Rock Plagron
Silicon is an element that intervenes in multiple crop processes in a beneficial way. Among the different advantages of adding silicon to the nutrient solution we have:
- Improves the absorption of Phosphorus, Calcium and essential micronutrients.
- Increases the thickness of cell walls, reinforcing the resistance of the entire plant.
- Increased resistance to drought and high levels of salinity.
- Improves nutrient use efficiency.
- Reduces stress levels in the plant, whether caused by extreme heat or cold.
- Prevents and eliminates the appearance of pathogenic fungi that can cause damage to the roots.
- It increases the robustness of the trunks, making them thicker and more resistant.
Dosage and method of use of Plagron Silic Rock
- Add a maximum of 1 ml of Silic Rock per liter of nutrient solution during all phases of cultivation (growth and flowering).
- Remember that you must add the necessary dose of Silic Rock to the water before adding any other fertilizer or stimulator.
- Silic Rock can be used in any growing medium: soil, coconut and in hydroponic systems.
- In each irrigation throughout the life cycle of the plants (growth and flowering). It must be added to the water in a maximum dose of 1 ml/L prior to any other fertilizer or stimulator.
- Dose: 0,5-1 ml/L.
- Fertilizer NPK: 1,5 – 0 – 1,7
- SiO2 content: 1%.
Silicon deficiencies and advice for the use of silicon in plants
Silicon (Si) is one of the non-essential minerals for plant cultivation. Even so, it is very common that the lack of this element can contribute to the poor absorption and assimilation of other elements such as copper, manganese or iron.
One of the ways that demonstrate a lack of Silicon is the lack of robustness of the plants, especially visible in trunks that appear weak and lack strength to help them support themselves.
If you are going to grow hydroponically, it is essential that you add products like Silic Rock to your nutrient solution. The reason is because in hydroponic cultivation, precisely one of the problems that exists is the lack of robustness of the plants, which have nothing to hold onto to stay upright.
Additionally, adding Si to the nutrient solution helps control pH fluctuations in the nutrient tank, acting as a pH stabilizer of the nutrient solution.
Another very important tip is to add Silic Rock to the water first, before adding any other fertilizer or stimulator.
For this component to mix well and not interact negatively with others, it is essential to add it first, mix well and then add the rest of the products.
An important detail if you are going to add Silic Rock to your nutrient solution is to control the EC levels with a digital meter.
The main reason for this advice is that by adding Silic Rock, your plants will make better use of the fertilizers and stimulators that you give them, which may lead you to have to raise or lower the EC to adapt it to the new situation and demands. of the plants.
