Gaia Green Greensand, 1.25 kg Pouch

Gentle, Slow-Release Mineral Fertilizer from Ancient Sediment, 1.25 kg

Gaia Green Greensand is mined from ancient, nutrient-rich deposits of oceanic sediment that, over time, developed into glauconite, a mineral effective as a slow-release fertilizer.

This 1.25 kg pouch is sized for household plants, containers, and small garden beds, giving hobbyist growers a gentle way to build mineral content without needing a bulk bag.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is greensand made of?

It is mined from ancient oceanic sediment that developed into glauconite, a naturally slow-release mineral. That slow-weathering structure is what gives it its gentle, gradual release.

Is greensand safe for sensitive plants?

Yes, it is gentle and won't cause root burn, making it forgiving even with generous application. That makes it a reasonable choice for houseplants and other pots where overfeeding is a common risk.

What is greensand used for?

It improves the mineral content of soil and other growing media as a slow-release fertilizer. Because it breaks down gradually, it supports plants over an extended period rather than delivering a quick nutrient spike.

When should I apply greensand?

Work it into soil or growing media before planting for the most even distribution, or apply it as a top dressing around plants already in the ground. Because it releases slowly, timing is less critical than with fast-acting fertilizers.

How often does greensand need to be reapplied?

Because it releases slowly, it needs reapplication far less often than fast-release fertilizers. Most gardeners work it in once per season and monitor plant response before adding more.
