Silica reinforces plant cell walls, making stems, leaves, roots and branches firmer and more durable, which keeps plants stable as they start carrying real weight in flower. The \u003cstrong\u003epotassium\u003c\/strong\u003e content gives additional support to normal plant function through active growth and bloom.
