Vermiculite 10DM

Vermiculite combined with other materials such as peat or composted pine bark, produces a soilless growing medium for the horticulture and the home gardener. Vermiculite promotes faster root growth and gives a quick anchorage to young roots. The mixture helps retain air, plant food, and moisture, releasing them as the plant requires them.
Vermiculite can also be used as a growing medium for hydroponics.

Used in Seed germination, vermiculite (alone or mixed with soil or peat) is used to germinate seeds with very little watering. With young seedlings, you should add a weak fertilizer solution when the first true leaves appear and gradually increase when transplanting.

As a Soil conditioner vermiculite as a soil conditioner where the native soil is heavy or sticky. It creates air channels and allows the soil mix to breathe. Mixing vermiculite in flower and vegetable gardens or in potted plants will provide the necessary air to maintain vigorous plant growth. Where soils are sandy, mixing of vermiculite into the soil will allow the soil to hold the water and air needed for growth.
