Type: Mineral
Mineral feeds are dissolved minerals your plant can use straight away. They're fast-acting and precise, but it is possible to overdo them, so stick to the dose.

Tougher Plants, From the Cell Walls Out

Silica is the most overlooked element in plant care. Many plants absorb it and build it into their cell walls, making stems stiffer, leaves tougher and the whole plant better able to resist stress.

Rhino Skin is a highly soluble potassium silicate. It strengthens stems and leaves so plants can hold up heavy flowers and fruit, and cope better with heat, drought and handling.

Why It Works

Silica: builds stronger cell walls and stiffer stems
Potassium: supports flowering, fruiting and water balance
Resilience: better tolerance of environmental stress
Compatible: works with pH Perfect and other base nutrients

For Houseplant & Garden Growers

Floppy stems, tomato trusses that snap, and leaves that scorch easily all benefit from silica. Rhino Skin suits container veg, tall flowering plants and houseplants grown in silica-free mixes like coco and LECA.

For Growers

Dose: 2ml per litre
When: through growth and flowering
Mixing: add Rhino Skin to the water first, before your base nutrients, as silicates raise pH
pH: check pH after mixing

🌿 Rose's Pro-Tip: Silica needs time to build into the plant. Start early in growth rather than waiting until stems are already struggling.
