Halamanin's Vermiculite Coarse (1 Liter) - for Improved Soil Moisture Retention and Nutrient Availability

Halamanin's Vermiculite(Coarse) is a lightweight and highly absorbent gardening material that is commonly used to improve soil moisture retention and nutrient availability. It is made from a natural mineral that is expanded through a heating process. Vermiculite is valued for its ability to retain moisture in the soil. The expanded mineral particles have a high water-holding capacity, allowing them to absorb and hold onto moisture. This helps prevent the soil from drying out too quickly and provides a consistent water supply to plant roots, reducing the frequency of watering. It also improves soil aeration and drainage. The particles have a layered structure with air pockets, allowing for the circulation of oxygen to plant roots. This promotes healthy root development and prevents waterlogged conditions that can lead to root rot. Vermiculite is known for its ability to release nutrients slowly over time. It acts as a reservoir, holding onto essential plant nutrients and releasing them to the roots as needed. This improves nutrient availability and ensures that plants have a steady supply of nutrients for optimal growth. Furthermore, vermiculite is pH-neutral, meaning it does not significantly affect the acidity or alkalinity of the soil. This makes it suitable for a wide range of plants and allows for precise control over the pH levels in gardening applications. Vermiculite is commonly used as a component in potting mixes or as a soil amendment. It can be mixed with other growing mediums to improve their moisture-holding capacity and enhance overall soil quality. It is especially beneficial for plants that prefer moist conditions or those grown in containers where water retention is crucial. *Weight and volume may slightly change during delivery due to exposure to temperature changes.
