Vermiculite

Vermiculite is a natural mineral composed of aluminum, magnesium, and iron. It is a high-quality inert material, an excellent water retainer (it helps hold water and moisture, promoting aeration and preventing rot).

Vermiculite is ideal for semi-hydroponic cultivation, for sowing and germinating young plants, and for incorporation into substrates.

Main uses and advantages of vermiculite:

• Reduced water evaporation
• Creation of a microclimate favorable to germination
• Increased nutrient exchange capacity
• Reduced frequency of pathogenic attacks on roots
