Garden vermiculite 1-5 mm 5 L

Garden vermiculite (expanded) 1-5 mm is a mineral, hydrated magnesium aluminosilicate, yellow-brown in color. Its basic form is mined in vermiculite mines. The material is subjected to heat treatment, after which it obtains utility values appropriate for gardening. It is a light granulate with sorption properties, insoluble in water - hence it is especially valued in cultivation.

Benefits of use:

• for hydroponic cultivation (as a soilless substrate),
• as a component of the substrate, in combination with peat or composted pine bark. Mixed with the soil, it loosens it and aerates it. The treatment is especially recommended for heavy soils. In addition, vermiculite absorbs water along with nutrients and gradually releases them. Such a mixture provides optimal conditions for the development of the root system of plants,
• as a substrate in terrariums, aquariums, in particular in the cultivation and breeding of exotic plants and animals,
• as a casing material for storing plant bulbs. Place the bulbs in a container and sprinkle with vermiculite. Vermiculite acts as a regulator that prevents the appearance of mold from moisture during storage,
• as a component of the substrate for growing mushrooms.

Areas of use:

• agriculture and horticulture - substrate for hydroponic cultivation, additive to substrates, cover material
• terrariums and aquariums - substrate
• construction - insulating material, component of lightweight concrete
• industry - absorber of pollutants

Parameters:

• Fraction: 1-5 mm
