Vermiculite is a natural product that improves soil properties, obtained by heat treatment of a clay mineral with a layered structure. It comes in the form of light, porous granules that have the ability to retain water. It is a valued additive to horticultural substrates due to its loosening and aerating properties. Its use improves the structure of the soil, making it more permeable. In addition, this product contains many valuable elements such as magnesium, iron and silicon, which support proper plant development.
Vermiculite can be used in the cultivation of pot and garden plants. It facilitates even germination of seeds and accelerates the rooting process of seedlings. It works perfectly as mulch in pots or flower beds, as well as for storing bulbs and tubers – it protects them from rotting, mould and mechanical damage.
