What is vermiculite?
Vermiculite is a natural mineral that expands into light, airy granules when heated. This structure allows vermiculite to absorb and retain large amounts of water and nutrients, releasing them gradually to plant roots.
This creates a stable, healthy growing medium with an optimal balance of air, water and nutrients.
