Chemical / Silicate Gardens?

Question

I'm trying to make a chemical garden, and I was wondering about how many mL of water should be added to 100 mL of sodium silicate. Would 400 mL be acceptable? Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Why are you adding water?

Shouldn't you be adding transition elements in? Just add transition element into your 100ml Sodium Silicate. You should get your colour.
