Vermiculite is a mined natural mineral that is conditioned by heating until it expands into light particles and act as a growing medium for all kinds of houseplants, bonsai and hydroponics. It’s used to increase the porosity of potting soil mixes. In potting soil, vermiculite also adds calcium and magnesium, and increases the mix’s water-holding capacity.
Vermiculite is a nutritious food for field crops, fruit plants, vegetables, potted plants, flowering plants in nurseries, greenhouses, landscaping, gardening, lawns, golf courses, hydroponics, roots, cuttings, seed germination, etc. Vermiculite acts like a sponge and is ideal for plants that prefer lots of water.It could also be used as summer and winter mulch around plants and for storing flower bulbs and root crops.
Vermiculite is not recommended for succulents & cactus etc. Use vermiculate alone or mix with soil or Coco peat for seed germination. This will allow seeds to germinate faster and properly.

Product Description

Product Features

Vermiculite is a natural mineral that has many beneficial features for gardening and horticulture.

High water-holding capacity: Vermiculite has a high water-holding capacity, which means that it can hold and release water as needed by plants. This makes it an excellent choice for plants that require consistent moisture levels.
Improves soil aeration: Vermiculite is lightweight and porous, which means that it improves soil aeration and allows for better oxygen flow to plant roots. This helps to promote healthy root growth and nutrient absorption.
Provides insulation: Vermiculite has insulating properties, which help to regulate soil temperature and protect plant roots from extreme heat or cold.
Nutrient-rich: Vermiculite is rich in nutrients like magnesium, potassium, and calcium, which are essential for plant growth and development.
pH neutral: Vermiculite is pH neutral, which means that it will not alter the pH of the soil. This makes it an excellent choice for plants that require specific pH levels.
Sterile: Vermiculite is sterile and free of weed seeds, pathogens, and pests, making it an excellent choice for starting seedlings and cuttings.
Improves soil structure: Vermiculite helps to improve soil structure by breaking up heavy or compacted soil, making it easier for plant roots to penetrate and grow.
Long-lasting: Vermiculite is long-lasting and can retain its properties for many years without breaking down or decomposing.
