- A chemical garden is an experiment in chemistry normally performed by adding solid metal salts such as copper sulfate or cobalt(II) chloride to an aqueous solution of sodium silicate (otherwise known as water glass). This results in growth of plant like forms in minutes to hours.[1] [2] [3] The chemical garden was first observed and described by Johann Rudolf Glauber in 1646.[4] In its original form, the chemical garden involved the introduction of ferrous chloride (FeCl2) crystals into a solution of potassium silicate (K2SiO3).
- Common salts used in a chemical garden

- Copper(II) sulfate crystals - Blue
- Chromium(III) chloride crystals - Green
- Nickel(II) sulfate crystals - Green
- Iron(II) sulfate crystals - Green
- Iron(III) chloride crystals - Orange
- Cobalt(II) chloride crystals - Purple
What else can I help you with?
How does the presence of grass silica contribute to the overall health and growth of plants in a garden?
Grass silica helps plants in a garden by providing structural support, increasing resistance to pests and diseases, and improving nutrient uptake. This contributes to overall plant health and growth.

Is rhyolite silica rich or silica poor?
Rhyolite is silica-rich, containing over 70% silica. It is an extrusive igneous rock with a fine-grained texture that forms from the rapid cooling of magma rich in silica content.
What is Krakatoa a silica rich or a silica poor?
Krakatoa is silica-rich, meaning it contains a high amount of silicon dioxide (silica) in its composition. This high silica content is associated with explosive volcanic eruptions due to the interaction between silica and magma.
