Vermiculite is a natural mineral from the Hydromica group that forms in the bowels of the earth.
After processing at a temperature of 1000 C, it becomes a light porous material. It is inert, chemically and biologically stable, sterile. Thanks to the content of trace elements such as: calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and silicon, vermiculite is a natural biostimulant for plant growth.
- Density: 80-100kg/m3
- Fraction: 2-5mm
- pH – 7
- Does not contain asbestos

Properties:
- With its high sorption property and air capacity, vermiculite is an excellent moisture regulator and has a positive effect on root development.
- It is added to soil mixtures in order to maintain optimal conditions of soil moisture, air capacity and heat balance, creating favorable conditions for plant nutrition.
- Thanks to its porous structure, its granules immediately absorb moisture and nutrients (100g absorb about 400ml of water) gradually releasing them to the plants.
- The use of vermiculite as a component up to (40%) in the substrates significantly improves the drainage properties of the mixture, increases porosity and looseness, prevents sealing and compaction of the soil, protects the roots from sharp temperature fluctuations.
- It protects the roots from rotting due to overwatering while retaining the moisture until the roots absorb it.
- Unlike agroperlite, it retains moisture for a longer time.
- Thanks to its excellent insulation properties, it creates a favorable environment for the storage of bulbs, tubers and rhizomes.
- It has a high ion-exchange capacity, retaining the positively charged ions of potassium, magnesium and other trace elements introduced with fertilizing, which it gradually releases to the plants.
- Significantly improves the structure and aeration of heavy clay soils and the moisture-holding capacity of light sandy soils.
- Thanks to its neutral pH, it can reduce the acidity of the soil to some extent and slow down the process of salinization.
- Especially suitable for the construction of lawns, as it protects them from over-wetting or over-drying.
- Due to its low thermal conductivity, it reduces the risk of frost on the root system of perennial plants.
- In case of excess fertilization, vermiculite absorbs micro- and macroelements, while reducing losses of ammonium and nitrate nitrogen.
Norms of use:
- To increase moisture retention in peat substrates, add 20-40% vermiculite.
- In bonsai substrates up to 50%.
- For building lawns: up to 5 liters of vermiculite per m2.
- In manure, compost, humus up to 20%.
- To improve the soil in the garden about 2-5l m2.
- When using vermiculite as drainage: place at the bottom of the pot about 100-200ml of vermiculite for every liter of pot volume.
- To store bulbs, seeds and rhizomes, the planting material is covered with 2 to 3 cm of vermiculite, thus it is protected from sudden temperature fluctuations, rotting and premature germination.
- Vermiculite is particularly suitable as a medium or additive in substrates for terrariums, incubators and aquariums.
