PLANT!T Vermiculite 10l

PLANT!T Vermiculite 10 L. is a natural, soft and porous material obtained by expanding mica. It has a high cation exchange capacity, which helps to gradually release nutrients – potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, silicon and other trace elements.

• electrical conductivity: 0μS/cm
• water retention capacity: 400-500ml/L.
• pH: 7.0-8.0
• Min/Max size of 90% of the granules: 2-5 mm
• volume: 10 L

Benefits:

• faster seed germination - excellent insulating properties - faster growth - increased nutrient uptake
• high water-holding capacity - prevents nutrient leaching - reduces plant stress in extreme conditions
• helps re-wet dry soils - sterile and disease-free - easy and safe to handle - lightweight and odourless
• derived from a natural source

Please note that PLANT!T Vermiculite is not a fertiliser, so adding nutrients will be necessary.

For propagation from cuttings:

• Fill the container with a 100 mm layer of PLANT!T Vermiculite 10 L. Moisten thoroughly, place the cutting in the pot and firm the vermiculite around the stem. Once roots develop, begin feeding with Root!t First Feed.

For propagation from seed:

• Use PLANT!T Vermiculite or a 50/50 mix with seed compost. Once seeds germinate, feed with Root!t First Feed.

For potting on seedlings:

• For best results, mix 2 parts perlite with 1 part vermiculite.

For improving soil condition:

• Simply mix with your soil to the desired moisture level.
