VERMICULITE

Product description

Germinate seeds using the smallest size of vermiculite as a growing medium and the largest size for improved soil aeration. vermiculite are used in the horticultural industry because they both provide aeration and drainage, they can retain and hold substantial amounts of water and later release it as needed, they are sterile and free from diseases, they have a fairly neutral pH (especially perlite which is neutral), and they are readily available, non-toxic, safe to use, and relatively inexpensive. Vermiculite is used as a soil amendment to promote better aeration and root growth or as a component in planting media Sudden Death Of Seedlings Is Thwarted Since Vermiculite Is Sterile And The Seedlings Are Easily Removed Without Damage To The Roots Thereby Reducing The Pricking-Out Losses. Maintains Vigorous Growth Of Flowers, Potted Plants And Vegetable Gardens, Increases 30-50 % Productivity, Quality Of Produce And Therefore More Profit.

Material:Other, Color:Golden Brown

Package Contents: 1Kg Vermiculite to 50 kg

Improves aeration: It loosens the soil so roots can more easily reach down and grow through the soil

Enhances drainage: Vermiculite soaks up water like a sponge it holds that water until the soil starts to dry out then releases it this is good for moisture loving plants

Slightly raises ph: Vermiculite is ph neutral, around 70 or so, but because of some compounds found within it, it can slightly raise ph, a plus for acidic soils

Makes other minerals available: Vermiculite naturally reacts with soil compounds and makes available other nutrients such as calcium, potassium and magnesium

Vermiculite is also used as a growing media for hydroponics along with perlite

Vermiculite interacts with potassium, calcium and magnesium in your soil it also helps to raise the ph even though it's a neutral ph of 70
