Vermiculit horticol 2–3 mm - mineral natural pentru substraturi aerate si crestere sanatoasa

Horticultural vermiculite is a natural mineral expanded by heat, widely used in horticulture due to its exceptional ability to retain water, nutrients, and air in the substrate. It is ideal for mixtures intended for seedlings, tropical plants, orchids, succulents, or bonsais, contributing to the development of a strong and healthy root system.

Due to its cation exchange properties, vermiculite helps maintain an optimal level of ammonium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, gradually releasing them to the roots. The material is sterile, free of impurities, ensures excellent soil aeration and efficiently retains moisture and fertilizers, preventing excessive drying or oversaturation with water.

Vermiculite does not mold, is non-toxic, non-combustible, and ecological, resistant to the action of atmospheric factors. It can be used alone or in combination with other horticultural materials (peat, perlite, pine bark, coconut fiber) to improve the texture and drainage of the substrate.

🌿 Usage recommendations:

• In mixtures for orchids, tropical plants, bonsai, succulents, or seeds

• As a top layer for sowing, maintaining constant moisture

• In combination with horticultural perlite, which ensures drainage and prevents excessive water accumulation
