Benefits of Wollastonite
- Stronger Stems, Leaves & Flowers — Silica reinforces cell walls throughout the plant, improving structural integrity and giving foliage a natural, healthy shine
- Pest & Disease Resistance — Thickened cell walls make it significantly harder for sap-sucking pests and fungal pathogens to penetrate plant tissue
- Calcium for Nutrient Transport — The natural Calcium content supports cell wall integrity, nutrient uptake, and overall plant metabolism — essential for preventing deficiency disorders mid-season
- Soil pH Balance — Acts as a mild liming agent, gently correcting acidic soils while improving cation exchange capacity and making nutrients more available to roots
- Slow-Release & Non-Leaching — Safe at all growth stages from seedling to flower, with no risk of salt buildup or nutrient lockout
Simple Application
Wollastonite is one of the simplest amendments to work into your routine, a light, consistent top-dress is all it takes to keep Silica and Calcium levels topped up throughout the growing cycle.
For top-dressing, lightly incorporate into the top 2–3 inches of soil and water thoroughly to begin mineral release.
Wollastonite is safe at all growth stages, from seedlings through to flowering, with no risk of salt buildup or nutrient lockout, making it one of the most forgiving amendments in the Florifi range.
Safe for Your Whole Garden
Wollastonite is a naturally occurring mineral, nothing synthetic, nothing harmful. It's completely safe to use around pets, children, and the beneficial insects that keep your garden healthy. No chemical residues, no harsh salts, just a clean metamorphic mineral that improves your soil and strengthens your plants without any risk to the wider garden ecosystem.
How to Use Florifi Wollastonite
Safety Precautions
- Always wear gloves when handling dry amendments to avoid skin irritation.
- Avoid inhaling dust, wear a dust mask or respirator when measuring or applying.
- Wash hands thoroughly after use.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
- Do not ingest. If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately.
- Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Store in original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Do not mix with incompatible chemicals, check product labels before combining amendments.
Storage Instructions
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Keep in original, sealed packaging to prevent moisture absorption.
- Avoid storing near water sources or in damp environments such as unventilated sheds.
- Do not store alongside liquid fertilisers or incompatible chemicals.
- Ensure the seal is tightly closed after each use.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets at all times.
- Shelf life of 12 months from purchase, is best maintained when stored correctly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Wollastonite works progressively rather than instantly, it's a slow-release mineral, not a quick-fix fertiliser. You'll typically notice improved stem strength and leaf firmness within 2–4 weeks of consistent use, with pest and stress resistance building cumulatively over the season. The longer it's in your soil, the more established the benefits become.
Yes, Wollastonite is designed to complement the full Florifi range. It pairs particularly well with Enhance, where the Silica supports the structural benefits of the mycorrhizal inoculants, and with the Fruit & Veg Power Mix, where the additional Calcium helps prevent blossom end rot in fruiting crops. There's no risk of interaction or nutrient lockout. If using a one of our blends that contain wollastonite as an ingredient, always best to apply lightly.
Yes — in fact, acidic soils are where Wollastonite performs particularly well. It acts as a mild liming agent, gently raising pH over time without the sharp correction of agricultural lime. This improves cation exchange capacity and makes other nutrients in your soil more available to roots, all while delivering Silica and Calcium throughout the process.
