Vermiculite is the name given to a group of hydrated laminar minerals that resemble mica. In appearance, the colour of these flakes varies from silver-gold to grey-brown. These flakes are heated up in a commercial furnace, creating pellets consisting of many thin-plate layers.
Vermiculite resists mould growth, has no smell, is sterile, and is non-toxic. It also doesn't decompose or degrade. (1)
Vermiculite for plants acts as a great soil additive that helps enhance your garden soil’s texture and quality. It is frequently employed by home gardeners in soil mixtures to boost seed germination and promote quick root growth in cuttings.
Vermiculite soil’s remarkable moisture retention abilities allow it to release moisture in accordance with the needs of the plant, which helps prevent overwatering and root rot in plants. Buy vermiculite online from Bombay Greens.
