Urban Plant’s vermiculite is a naturally occurring mineral that is non-toxic, odorless, and clean. These small, glossy, accordion-like flakes are a great option for hydroponics and home gardening.
Improves soil quality: Adding the Urban Plant’s vermiculite to the soil, will make it moist and loose. This will improve the soil’s aeration and necessary moisture is retained, allowing plants to grow much better.
Nutrient retentive: Vermiculite makes all the valuable nutrients present in the soil, easily available to the plants because of its great retention capacity.
Impressive root anchorage: Seeds germinate quickly when root growth is quick. Urban Plant’s vermiculite acts as a root growth enhancer and helps in root anchorage, especially young roots. In this way, seedlings develop quickly.
Prevents mold and mildew: Vermiculite doesn’t let the fungus grow on the plants, because of its great moisture retention capacity and the plant doesn't rot.
Usage:
- Hydroponic growing media: Vermiculite is an effective option for hydroponics, which is majorly soil-free gardening. It encourages quick root growth and controls moisture; releases it when plants require it. Add little fertilizer to provide nutrients to the plant as vermiculite doesn’t provide nutrients.
- For potted plants: Urban Plant’s vermiculite can be added to the potting soil mix, which will result in a healthy root system and plants grow well.
