Our vermiculite is packaged in a convenient resealable bag in the perfect size for a home gardener so you don't need to purchase a large bag and have it go to waste. A little goes a long way with vermiculite.
Vermiculite has been used by plantsmen, propagators, growers and gardeners for decades and will allow you to improve your seed sowing germination rates and give your seed and potting compost mixes the edge.
Vermiculite does this by holding more water and stimulates root growth, giving quicker anchorage of the plant and improved uptake of nutrients.
Vermiculite is magnesium-aluminum-iron silicate. It is an all-natural mineral product.
