Vermiculite is a naturally occurring mineral that expands into lightweight, spongy particles when heated, making it an excellent soil amendment for horticulture. It improves moisture retention, aeration, and nutrient holding capacity in potting mixes, seed starting, and hydroponic systems. This 30L bag of medium grade vermiculite is pH neutral and helps create a loose, well-draining structure that promotes healthy root growth and consistent seed germination.
