Ideal for seed propagation, container planting, and soil conditioning, it improves germination rates and supports robust plant growth by slowly releasing essential nutrients. Perfect for professional and hobbyist gardeners aiming for healthier, more resilient plants. ## Description Vermiculite is the name of a group of hydrated laminar minerals (aluminium-iron magnesium silicates) which look like mica. Horticultural vermiculite is processed with massive heat that expands it into accordion shaped pellets composed of multiple layers of thin plates. It will not rot, deteriorate, or mould and is enduring, odourless, non-toxic and sterile. Newly seeded lawns can benefit from an application of vermiculite. Mix 3 cubic feet of vermiculite per 100 square feet, seed, then cover the entire area with ¼ inch of vermiculite. Water in with a fine spray. The vermiculite will hasten germination and increase the number of seeds that germinate while maintaining moisture and protecting from drying and heat. Vermiculite added to the garden or vermiculite in potting soil increases water and nutrient retention and aerates the soil, resulting in healthier, more robust plants. Add vermiculite to soil for conditioning and lightening either alone or in conjunction with peat or compost. This will accelerate the growth and promote anchorage for tender young root systems. Using vermiculite as growing medium will also enable the plant to more easily absorb the ammonium, potassium, calcium and magnesium necessary for vigorous growth. Vermiculite mixed half and half with soil, peat or compost eliminates packed down soil in flower pots and houseplant containers while allowing excellent aeration, reducing watering frequency and allowing root spread. ## Features - Propagation from seed - its retention of water makes it good for sustaining the growth of seeds^Potting compost for container planting - it retains moisture, protects against adverse weather and aids re-wetting^Soil conditioning - its excellent water holding capabilities makes it an excellent addition to sandy soils or dried out ground^High cation exchange capacity: it will slowly release nutrients back to your plant which it has absorbed during watering^Easy and safe to handle, lightweight and simple to use.

These bags won’t go far, and are better for pots and trays. If you need to improve drainage and airation of a veg plot, you are better of digging in compost, and horticultural grit. It would be a lot cheaper too **Q: is this what I need to mix into soil of a bed of plants such as Lavender, Santolina and Sedums etc? for VERY WELL DRAINED soil. Thanks** A: Those are mediterainian plants so are after well drained DRY soils. Vermiculite will give you well drained MOIST soil. Look for horticultural grit or sand instead. Don't confuse drainage with moisture requirements. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vermeculite for Plants - A Game Changer! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 30 March 2024* So, what is Vermiculite? It’s a natural, non-toxic, and sustainable alternative to peat moss and perlite. It's made from the mineral vermiculite, which is rich in nutrients and helps to improve soil structure, drainage, and aeration.I've been using Vermeculite in my plant babies' soil for a few years now, and the results are nothing short of amazing! My seedlings are thriving, and I've noticed a significant improvement in their growth and overall health.Here are some of the benefits I've experienced:Improved drainage: Vermeculite is incredibly lightweight and helps to prevent waterlogging, which can be detrimental to plant growth.Better aeration: The vermiculite particles help to break up the soil and improve air circulation, which promotes healthy root growth and overall plant health.Increased nutrient retention: Vermeculite has a high cation exchange capacity, which means it can retain and release nutrients as needed, providing a steady supply for your plants.Reduced transpiration: By improving soil structure and aeration, Vermeculite helps to reduce transpiration, which can help to prevent overwatering and promote healthy plant growth.I could go on and on about the benefits of Vermeculite, but I'll sum it up by saying it's a must-have for any plant parent! It's easy to use, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly.In conclusion, I highly recommend Vermeculite for plants to anyone looking to improve their plant babies' soil and promote healthy growth.
