Diatomaceous earth is made from the skeletons of ancient water creatures and acts like an insecticide. Under a microscope diatomaceous earth looks like tiny shards of glass, when insects come into contact with these shards it punctures their exoskeleton and dehydrates them to death.

Benefits:

- Sticks to insects making it effective in controlling pests long-term  👍

- Completely natural, food grade, and chemical free 🌳

- Can be watered into soil as an insecticide to help get rid of spider mites, gnats, and other garden pests 🦟

- Feeds plants Silica which is like calcium for our bones 🦴

- Pet & kid safe! 😻

How to Use:

1. Mix with water (highly recommended to add Yucca Extract or Herbal Plant Soap to help sticking power)

2. Spray both sides of leaves thoroughly top to bottom and the entire plant stem to the soil.

3. Let the DE dry on your leaves and keep on for up to 2 weeks until pest problem is gone. Inspect your plant babies after the first week and reapply if needed, it will never burn your plants!

4. Wipe off with cloth or take your plants to the shower on watering day 🛀

Add Diatomaceous Earth to soil as a natural silica fertilizer:

Adding Diatomaceous Earth to your soil is an amazing way to add water soluble silica (water soluble means your plants can absorb it easily!). Silica for plants is like calcium for our bones. It helps strengthen stems and leaf structure which can actually help with pest resistance.

As an added bonus, diatomaceous adds aeration to your soil encouraging strong roots.

To add Diatomaceous Earth to your soil mixes, add 1-3 tablespoons per gallon of soil.

DO NOT use when beneficial insects are present. DE will kill them too 😵
