Diatomite is sedimentary rock of fossilized diatoms and is often used as a sole orchid medium. It’s porous, can hold 150% of its weight in water, is non-toxic and contains silica. Diatomite protects against rot, and can slowly release silica to orchids that love it. It is often used as a component in other orchid media.

Hydroponics
Freshwater diatomite can be used as a growing medium in hydroponic gardens.
It is also used as a growing medium in potted plants, particularly as bonsai soil. Bonsai enthusiasts use it as a soil additive, or pot a bonsai tree in 100% Diatomaceous earth. Like perlite, vermiculite, and expanded clay, it retains water and nutrients while draining fast and freely allowing high oxygen circulation within the growing medium.
