Description
Vermiculite is well-known for being an effective growing medium. Commonly used in compost formulations with coir or peat, it creates ideal conditions for plant growth. It improves aeration of the soil, promotes a consistent release of added fertilizer and improves moisture retention of the soil. The vermiculite itself also adds magnesium, potassium and trace amounts of other minerals to the soil. The air to water ratio present in vermiculite and peat/coir composts stimulate root growth and facilitate the production of healthy seedlings.
