A natural mineral which has been heated to a high temperature, Vermiculite comprises of lightweight, highly absorbent flakes. By adding Vermiculite to growing media it will improve aeration and increase retention of moisture and nutrients. Vermiculite can help promote faster, healthier plant growth and also possesses ‘cation exchange’ properties enabling it to hold and make available to growing plants ammonium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. Providing good air balance, Vermiculite helps maintain an even temperature and can be used for seed germinations, pricking out, potting-on and plants in containers or tubs. Vermiculite which is added to compost and other growing media, will ensure the applied nutrients are available to the plant’s root system.
- Use on its own or mix 50/50 with compost for seed germination
- Use for pricking out and potting on
- Use in larger pots and containers to reduce overall weight and improve water retention
