Description
GreenPlanet Plant Guard Potassium Silicate for Stronger Plants
GreenPlanet Plant Guard is a potassium silicate supplement formulated to strengthen plant structure, reinforce cell walls, and improve resistance to environmental stress throughout vegetative growth and flowering.
By supplying soluble potassium silicate, Plant Guard helps plants build stronger stems, branches, and cellular tissue capable of supporting heavier flowers. Stronger plant structure can also improve the movement of water and nutrients through the plant, helping maintain vigorous growth and overall crop health.
Plant Guard is especially useful in hydroponic and soilless growing systems where supplemental silica can support structural strength and resilience.

How Plant Guard Works
Silica is used by plants at the cellular level to strengthen structural tissue. GreenPlanet Plant Guard supplies potassium silicate, which supports the development of more rigid cell walls throughout the plant.
As cell walls strengthen, stems and branches become more robust and better able to support the increasing weight associated with flowering. Silica can also accumulate within outer cell layers, helping create a stronger physical barrier against environmental stress and unwanted organisms.
This structural support can contribute to stronger plants with improved resilience throughout the growth cycle.
Plant Guard provides targeted silica supplementation for growers looking to develop stronger plant structure without complicating their feeding programme.
Its potassium silicate formulation helps reinforce cellular tissue, strengthen stems and branches, and support plants during periods of rapid growth and heavy flowering. This makes it particularly useful for crops carrying significant floral or fruit weight.

Important Mixing Instructions: Always add Plant Guard to the water first before adding base nutrients or other additives.
Allow Plant Guard to disperse thoroughly throughout the nutrient solution before introducing additional products. Do not mix concentrated Plant Guard directly with concentrated nutrients.
FAQs
What is GreenPlanet Plant Guard used for?
Plant Guard is a potassium silicate supplement used to strengthen plant cell walls, stems, and branches while supporting resistance to environmental stress.
When should I use Plant Guard?
Plant Guard can be used throughout vegetative growth and flowering. Discontinue use approximately two weeks before harvest.
How much Plant Guard should I use?
Apply at 0.5ml per litre with your regular feeding programme.
Why does Plant Guard need to be added first?
Potassium silicate is highly alkaline and can react with concentrated nutrients. Adding it to water first and allowing it to dilute helps reduce the risk of unwanted nutrient precipitation.
Is Plant Guard suitable for hydroponics?
Yes. Plant Guard is suitable for hydroponic substrates as well as recirculating, drain-to-waste, and soilless growing systems.
Does Plant Guard help strengthen branches?
Yes. Its potassium silicate content supports stronger cell walls, stems, and branches, helping plants better support heavier flowers and fruit.
