Green Zeolite contains a natural volcanic rock composed of potassium, sodium, and calcium silicates. These properties stem from high concentrations of "tectosilicate" minerals, particularly chabasite and phillipsite, which provide outstanding cation exchange capacity and water absorption.
In horticultural applications, zeolite functions like a microscopic scaffold, gradually releasing nutrients only when plants require them. This improves crop quality by ensuring plants never lack essential nutrients while preventing nutrient leaching during watering.
Zeolite offers the same drainage benefits as pumice - preventing water stagnation and root rot while promoting soil aeration when dry.
