Vermiculite

Vermiculite is a highly porous mineral with air between the scales. Its structure makes it possible to achieve the necessary aeration properties from the substrate, in which the earth does not cake, a crust does not form on its surface, it remains loose

Vermiculite is a natural mineral that forms in the earth's crust. Under the influence of a high temperature of 800°C, it turns into a loose, highly porous material resembling small scales. Vermiculite contains oxides of magnesium, calcium, potassium, iron and a huge amount of trace elements. It loosens the soil well, absorbs moisture, and then gradually gives it to plants.

Purpose

Optimizes moisture and air circulation.
Ideal for rooting cuttings, sowing seeds and growing plants; for mulching to retain moisture.
Improves the structure of the substrate.
Helps plants withstand periods of forced drought due to high water holding capacity.

Uses

Additive for flower soil
When preparing the flower soil, add vermiculite to the soil in a ratio of 2:10 and mix.
Mulching
Scatter vermiculite on the surface of the substrate with a layer of 0.3-0.5 cm to retain moisture. This method is suitable for preventing the development of mold and moss.
Sprouting seeds and rooting cuttings
Moisten vermiculite, pour it into planting containers, sow seeds or plant cuttings. Lightly water, cover with a layer of vermiculite 0.5 cm thick. Spray occasionally
