Want your plants to grow healthy and lush? Discover vermiculite!
Vermiculite is a natural mineral (from the aluminosilicate group) that, after thermal processing, expands, forming light, porous granules. Thanks to its properties, it is widely used in gardening and potted plant cultivation. When added to soil, it improves moisture retention, air circulation, and nutrient availability, promoting better plant growth.
Why Use Vermiculite?
- 🌱 Improves Soil Structure - Its lightweight and porous nature enhances air and water circulation, making the substrate lighter and more aerated, promoting healthy root growth.
- 💧 Retains Water - Vermiculite absorbs and gradually releases water, keeping plants well-hydrated.
- ⚡ Stores and Releases Nutrients - It absorbs and supplies essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium, improving plant nutrient absorption.
- ✅ Neutral pH and Safety - Vermiculite does not acidify the soil, making it a universal additive for various crops, while also being durable and non-decomposing.
How to Use Vermiculite in Gardening and Potted Plant Cultivation?
- Improve soil structure - especially useful for compacted or heavy soils.
- Create an ideal seedbed - provides optimal moisture conditions for seed germination.
- Mix with soil - use as a substrate component to enhance water retention and nutrient availability.
- Use for hydroponic cultivation - perfect for soilless growing of vegetables, flowers, and herbs.
- Apply for mulching - helps retain moisture in the soil around plants.
- Support plant propagation - vermiculite creates a safe rooting environment for young plants.
Recommended Dosage:
- For garden soil: 20-30% of the total volume (e.g., 2-3 L vermiculite per 10 L soil).
- For potted plant substrates: 1 part vermiculite to 3-4 parts soil.
- For seed sowing: Use alone or mix 1:1 with garden soil.
