It is an ideal product for horticulture, hydroponics, and use in seedbeds. Expanded vermiculite has a pH close to neutral and low electrical conductivity. It stands out for being lightweight, for its good water-holding capacity, and for improving aeration in growing media mixtures.
High water retention capacity.
Improves aeration in growing media.
Average particle size of 2 to 6 mm.
Lightweight product.
Vermiculite is a material produced by the expansion of a mineral at high temperatures. This material is used for its porosity and water-retention capacity.

A mineral belonging to the mica family, expanded at high temperatures to produce a lightweight mineral with a layered structure and a brownish color.
Vermiculite is mixed into growing media to improve aeration, drainage, and water-holding capacity. Since it has a neutral pH of around 7, it does not negatively affect the plant.
Vermiculite may contain traces of other minerals beneficial to plants, such as copper, magnesium, or zinc, and has the ability to retain the nutrients provided by the soil mix.
