Hello, I wanted to ask if it's unhealthy to store quartz sand in the apartment. I had a container of quartz sand sitting in the corner for months, mixing it into the plant soil, and I've heard that it can create fine quartz dust, which is dangerous.

Loading...I planted a weeping willow seedling, and it's growing beautifully. I also have a slightly more mature willow. It definitely needs to be pruned, but how do I know when the right time is? Unfortunately, I can't add any pictures because I'm constantly seeing only flaws. Do you have any characteristics or anything else I…
Hello everyone, I'm still fairly new to the world of lawn care and could use some advice on how to plan my next steps. Initial situation: My lawn has some bare patches. Moss has formed at the edge of the lawn. Measures taken so far: Treated once with a moss control fertilizer. A week later,…
I just picked off a "flower," as I was told. Wherever I touched it and picked it off, it started to smell awful. The flower is a bit green and a bit brown. Why does it smell like that, and is it dangerous for other plants?

Hello, I still have succulent fertilizer and wanted to ask if I can use it to fertilize my green plants or if it is too different from green plant fertilizer.
The quartz sand you have is nothing more than normal sand – only that it is cleaned by washing. In addition to impurities, the fine dust fractions go away rather than the larger grains. I have never heard that quartz sand (for aquariums, for example, or as accompaniment to the cactus earth) should be harmful and consider this to be excluded.
In stone processing, where this is a problem, there are quite different conditions. Through grinding, polishing, sawing, the finest particles are created that are swirled.
I also bought quartz sand, which is actually for the aquarium and which I gave to my cactus soil, so I’m not worried. There is still a supply of quartz sand.
Thank you very much for the answer! Exactly the fine dust that could possibly remain left made me worry, but theoretically the fine dust cannot get into the air alone or?
So I think it’s completely harmless. Far less dangerous than when a child plays in the sand, because there are more small particles than in the washed-out sand. And they’re swirled, while in the apartment everything’s quiet.
Only in the construction industry is the load relevant and also there predominantly in the stone processing industry.
